Abstract

Endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproduction age. It causes pain and difficulty in getting pregnant. However the exact causes of infertility associated with endometriosis still remain controversial. The treatment of endometriosis consists of medical treatment of pain as well as medical and surgical treatment of infertility caused by endometriosis and assisted reproduction techniques. Since the treatment of endometriosis is often connected with diminishing ovarian reserve, the techniques for ovarian tissue preservation and oocyte and embryo freezing are used to maintain the ability for childbearing.
