“…In 2002, Hachisuga and Kawarabayashi found that stripping ovarian endometrial cysts can cause ovarian follicle loss and damage ovarian tissue. Garcia-Velasco et al (2004) and Hart et al (2008) also reached a similar conclusion. In a comparison of both ovaries, Somigliana et al (2003) found that ovarian volume and the number of oocytes on the operated ovary was significantly more reduced than the other ovary that did not receive surgery.…”

ABSTRACT. This study investigated functional changes in the ovaries of women who have had conservative laparoscopic endometrial cystectomy and the effects of traditional kidney-reinforcing and bloodactivating Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on ovarian function. Seventy female patients who underwent laparoscopic endometrial cystectomy were randomized into two groups: TCM group receiving kidney-reinforcing and blood-activating Chinese medicine (N = 35) and control group receiving only routine follow-up (N = 35). The serum levels of all study participants were measured for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2) and inhibin B (INHB) prior to and after endometrial surgery. Postoperative menstruation conditions were also assessed. Compared to preoperative conditions, both LH and FSH levels during the postoperative 1st month increased in both groups, while E2 and INHB levels decreased (P < 0.05). In the TCM group, in contrast to the control group and the postoperative 1st month, we observed a decrease in LH and FSH levels during the postoperative 4th month, while E2 and INHB levels increased (P < 0.05). In this study, we found that certain TCM prescriptions lowered postoperative serum FSH and LH levels and increased the serum INHB and basal E2 levels, thereby improving the ovarian reserve.

“…The ovaries are often adherent to the posterior surface of the uterus, where they may be out of reach. The bowel loops may also be fixed in the path of the aspiration needle [67,68] . Endometriosis affects oocyte number but not embryo quality or pregnancy rates and outcome, whether or not an endometrioma is present [18] .…”

“…La contaminación de los huevos con líquido endometriósico durante la punción no afecta la capacidad para formar el embrión o la calidad del mismo (110). No existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los resultados de la FIV después de la primera o segunda intervención de los endometriomas, en términos de número de oocitos recogidos o tasas de embarazo (111)(112). La incidencia de absceso después de punción para FIV aumenta al 2,3% en los pacientes con endometrioma versus el 0,2% en pacientes sin ellos (113).…”

ResumenLa endometriosis es una enfermedad ginecológica frecuente y puede ocasionar dolor pélvico; es una de las causas de infertilidad aunque en un pequeño pero significativo porcentaje y se observa hasta en el 50% de las laparoscopias de las pacientes en estudio de infertilidad. Sobre su patogénesis se conoce poco; sin embargo, actualmente existen varias teorías que tratan de explicar su presentación, sin obviar los factores genéticos que pueden hacer a las mujeres susceptibles a esta entidad. Los mecanismos que explican su fisiopatología en la infertilidad son la obstrucción tubárica, las adherencias pélvicas y los endometriomas ováricos que distorsionan las relaciones anatómicas y limitan el acceso y movilidad de las fimbrias al ovario. El método más utilizado para el diagnóstico de la endometriosis es la ecografía. Este artículo presenta una revisión de la literatura sobre la fisiopatología, la etiología, el cuadro clínico, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la endometriosis y los endometriomas en el área de la infertilidad.

Its pathogenesis is poorly understood though several theories are now offered which attempt to explain its appearance, such as genetic factors that could make women susceptible to this entity. The mechanisms that explain the pathophysiology of infertility are tubal blockage, pelvic adhesions and ovarian endometriomas distort anatomic relationships and limit access and mobility of the fimbriae to the ovary. The most widely used method for diagnosis of endometriomas is ultrasound. This article presents a literature review on the pathophysiology, aetiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis and endometriomas in the area of infertility.
