Abstract

Endometriosis is a heterogeneous disease, affecting women during their reproductive period. The most frequent clinical manifestations include dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis interferes in all the steps of the reproductive process, from folliculogenesis till implantation. Medical treatment of women who desire fertility is contraindicated as it delays conception. Surgery has proven to be an important step in managing these patients along with IVF. Despite the detrimental effects of endometriosis upon the reproductive process, IVF represents the best option when dealing with infertility.
