“…Considering the co-dominant follicles (diameter >15 mm), the median (IQR) number in the affected and intact ovaries was 3 (2–4) and 3 (2–5), respectively (p > 0.05). Almog et al [14] recently enrolled 81 patients with unilateral endometrioma (28.4 ± 3.9 mm) and compared the number of oocytes retrieved in ovaries with endometrioma to those of contralateral normal ovaries. They reported that there was no significant difference in the number of antral follicles and oocytes retrieved in the endometrioma-containing ovary (6.0 ± 0.4 and 7.7 ± 1.0, respectively) and in the opposite ovary (6.1 ± 0.5 and 8.5 ± 0.9, respectively).…”

“…Benaglia et al [13] reported that an ovary with endometrioma was associated with a decreased ovulation rate (31%) when compared to a normal contralateral ovary. However, Almog et al [14] recently compared the ovarian reserve of ovaries with endometrioma with contralateral normal ovaries in IVF cycles and noted that an endometrioma per se did not affect the ovarian reserve. Unfortunately, there is no consensus about the effect of endometrioma per se on ovarian reserve in the literature.…”

Background: Our aim was to determine the effect of single endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter per se on ovarian reserve in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Methods: We enrolled 19 consecutive infertile patients (29 cycles) who had unilateral single endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter and who underwent ICSI. Results: The mean age of the patients was 33.3 ± 4.9 years. The mean diameter of endometriomas was 21.8 ± 4.9 mm. Left- and right-sided endometriomas were 34.5 and 65.5%, respectively. The number of oocytes retrieved from ovaries with endometriomas and contralateral normal ovaries was comparable (5.9 ± 4.3 vs. 5.4 ± 3.8). Conclusion: Endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter per se did not have a deleterious effect on ovarian reserve in ICSI cycles.

“…It also was found that, in the case of endometriomas that are <30 mm, the basal FSH concentration is the most important prognostic factor for oocyte retrieval 14. In contrast, it has been reported that the presence of an endometrioma is not associated with a reduction in the number of retrieved oocytes 16. In the present study, no statistically significant difference was observed in the percentage of good‐quality blastocysts that was able to be retrieved, the pregnancy rate, the clinical pregnancy rate, and the live birth rate between the ovaries.…”

AimTo clarify the effects of small endometriomas on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. In the present study, the potential impact of small ovarian endometriomas on the quantitative and qualitative outcomes of IVF was evaluated in the same individual.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed, in which 118 infertile women with unilateral endometriomas that were <40 mm in size and who underwent IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection were evaluated. Single frozen embryo transfer cycles were performed, with separate data collections for both the affected and the unaffected ovaries, which allowed for an evaluation of the implantation rate.ResultsThe mean antral follicular count and the number of follicular flushings, retrieved oocytes, and obtained embryos were significantly lower for the endometrioma‐containing ovary than for the contralateral, intact ovary. No significant difference was observed regarding the blastocyst retrieval and good‐quality blastocyst retrieval rates, pregnancy rate, and clinical pregnancy or live birth rate.ConclusionAlthough the patients with a small endometrioma had a decreased ovarian reserve, they had lower pregnancy rates. The decision to transfer an embryo from an endometrioma‐containing ovary or from a contralateral, intact ovary also might not influence the pregnancy rate.

“…Benaglia et al found no significant difference in the ovarian responsiveness to COH or the number of follicles retrieved between the affected and unaffected ovary in women with unilateral endometriomas [17,18]. It may therefore be agreed that the presence of ovarian endometriomas does not negatively affect IVF outcomes.…”
