This editorial reviews five studies on assisted reproductive technology, highlighting that ICSI offers no advantage over IVF for non-male factor infertility and identifying ozone as an effective agent to reduce pelvic infection during oocyte retrieval. One included meta-analysis links specific heavy metals like lead to various reproductive issues, explicitly listing endometriosis among the conditions associated with exposure. The remaining reviews address long-term health outcomes for children born via ART and the relationship between sperm telomere length, mitochondrial function, and male infertility. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for heavy metal exposure in a review of adverse sequelae, though the paper's main focus is assisted reproduction.
