Abstract

Endometriosis retards the process of conception, but conception does not retard the progression of this disease. When a series of patients with endometriosis after pregnancy were examined, sites of endometriotic involvement and presenting symptoms appeared unchanged. It seems that the effect of pregnancy on this disease is only temporary.
