Abstract

Endometriosis is a common condition, causing pain and infertility. In infertile woman with superficial peritoneal endometriosis and patent tubes, laparoscopy is recommended, followed by ovarian stimulation alone or in combination with intrauterine inseminations. In case of ovarian or deep endometriosis, the indications of surgery and assisted reproductive technologies remain to be defined precisely. In vitro fertilization is generally proposed after the failure of up to three inseminations, directly for ovarian or deep endometriosis, or in case of an associated factor of infertility, mainly male. Before ovarian stimulation in view to in vitro fertilization, a pretreatment by GnRH agonist for 2 to 6 months or combined contraceptive for 6 to 8 weeks would improve the pregnancy rate. Egg donation is effective in patients with advanced ovarian failure or lack of ovarian response to stimulation. Fertility preservation, especially by oocytes vitrified, must be proposed preventively to women with endometriosis at risk of ovarian failure, without close wish to be pregnant.
