Endometriosis and Assisted Reproductive Technology: Navigating the Desert of Fertility

The field of reproductive medicine is a vast desert, filled with challenges for couples seeking to build families. Endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, can significantly impact fertility. This study investigates the influence of endometriosis on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies involving women with endometriosis undergoing ART. Their findings revealed that women with endometriosis had similar live birth rates as women without endometriosis, but lower clinical pregnancy rates and mean number of oocytes retrieved. The study also found that women with more severe endometriosis had inferior outcomes.

A Guiding Star in the Desert of Fertility
