Endometriose und Kinderlosigkeit
Endometriosis is frequently found in infertile women, and while not a guaranteed cause of infertility, numerous potential sterility mechanisms linked to endometriosis are discussed.

The paper evaluates whether endometriosis explains infertility problems, noting that no single universal cause has been established and that existing data cannot even support the conclusion that endometriosis inherently causes infertility. It reports longstanding observations that endometriosis is more common among women with infertility than among fertile women, citing “classic” work showing endometriosis in roughly 6% to 58% of infertility patients and in about 30% to 50% of women with endometriosis. It also describes newer comparisons in the context of laparoscopy, where endometriosis appeared more frequently in infertility patients than in women presenting for tubal sterilization. The chapter highlights the major caveat that multiple infertility mechanisms have been discussed but a single definitive explanation is lacking. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, its relationship to infertility and the absence of a single generalizable causal explanation.
