Features of the women hormonal background with endometriosis-associated infertility

Abstract

Introduction. According to experts, endometriosis affects 10-15% of women of reproductive age; the percentage of endometriosis-associated infertility in this category of women is 30-50%. Given that endometriosis affects women of young reproductive age, the question arises about conservative and surgical ways to restore reproductive function. Objective of the research: to analyze retrospectively the level of serum hormones of patients with endometriosis-associated infertility, depending on the type of treatment of endometrioid cysts. Materials and methods. The study included 114 women aged 21-40 years with endometriosis-associated infertility, who were treated at the "Professor S. Khmil Clinic Medical Center". The comparison group included 30 women with tuboperitoneal infertility factor. Patients with endometriosis-associated infertility were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 54 women of reproductive age with unoperated endometrioid cysts up to 4 cm in diameter, group 2 -60 women with a medical history of surgical treatment of endometrioid cysts. Each of the groups was divided into 2 subgroups. 1a -monolateral endometrioid cysts;1b -bilateral endometrioid cysts; 2a -without recurrent cysts in the previously operated ovary; 2b -with mono-or bilateral cysts in the previously operated ovary.
