This manuscript focuses on fertility preservation strategies in women with severe ovarian endometriosis, framing endometriosis as a common benign gynecologic disease that contributes to pelvic pain and infertility in over 35% of women of reproductive age. It describes an overall therapeutic aim that includes preserving and improving fertility, alongside reducing pain and delaying disease recurrence, while noting that complete resolution of endometriosis is not possible. The paper’s main limitation is that it is a narrative-focused overview centered on severe endometriosis rather than reporting new original study data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, fertility preservation in women with ovarian endometriosis (with emphasis on severe disease).

Abstract

Endometriosis is one of the most frequently encountered benign diseases in gynecology. It is the cause of pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia) and infertility in more than 35% of women of reproductive age [1]. Complete resolution of endometriosis is not possible, but therapy has essentially three main objectives: to preserve and improve fertility; to reduce pain; and to delay recurrence for as long as possible. The aim of this manuscript is to focus on fertility preservation in women with severe endometriosis.
