ABSTRACT

Background: Endometriosis is one of the most challenging clinical conditions for gynecologists . Associated pain and infertility are often difficult to manage, and current treatment strategies remain limited.
Objective:This review reviews the current scientific evidence for general gynecologist and provides an overview of current information regarding the treatment of patients with endometriosis-related infertility, offering strong evidence to consider a less invasive approach, and highlights potential hazards of surgery within patients desiring to achieve a pregnancy.
