AI-generated summary
This paper reviews the association between endometriosis and infertility, exploring potential mechanisms including abnormal folliculogenesis, oxidative stress, altered immune function, and reduced endometrial receptivity.

Abstract
A endometriose uma doena ginecolgica benigna que acomete mulheres em idade reprodutiva e se manifesta sob a forma de dor plvica crnica, dismenorria e infertilidade.A associao de endometriose e infertilidade tem sido reconhecida h anos, embora ainda no haja uma evidncia definitiva de causalidade. claro que nos casos de doena em estgio avanado com distoro mecnica da anatomia plvica a infertilidade facilmente explicada.No entanto, a ligao entre a endometriose inicial e a infertilidade ainda permanece controversa.Os mecanismos de infertilidade associados endometriose incluem foliculognese anormal, estresse oxidativo aumentado, funo imune e ambiente peritonial e folicular alterados, e receptividade endometrial reduzida
