This review examines the impact of endometriosis on fertility, noting that the condition affects up to 50% of women with sterility issues and significantly reduces fecundity compared to healthy controls. The authors detail multifactorial pathophysiology, including mechanical adhesions, altered peritoneal environments with inflammatory mediators, ovulatory disturbances, and impaired implantation due to reduced integrin expression. Therapeutic strategies vary by stage, with laparoscopic resection improving pregnancy rates in early stages, while assisted reproductive technologies like IVF offer advantages over observation across all stages despite generally lower success rates. The paper concludes that fertility reduction is often multifactorial, requiring tailored interventions such as hormonal stimulation combined with insemination or primary IVF depending on disease severity and additional factors. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically its role as a significant factor in female sterility and the associated therapeutic approaches for improving pregnancy outcomes.
