The Role of Early Diagnosis in Managing and Treating Infertility Secondary to Endometriosis: A Literature Review
Asian Journal of Pregnancy and Childbirth,
Page 221-225
Abstract
The goal is to encourage good medical practices so that the emotional and psychological stigma associated with the common occurrence of infertility related to endometriosis in females of reproductive age may be adequately treated simultaneously with the fundamental cause. The failure of a male and female partner to conceive following frequent, unprotected sexual activity for a period of 12 months is a fairly strict definition of infertility. As a result of the fact that 85% of women are seen to become pregnant within a year of engaging in regular, unprotected sexual activity, the length is significant and commonly stressed in this context. The remaining 15% of couples may encounter a variety of obstacles to conceiving, and those issues are what spark this entire discussion about infertility. The presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity is referred to as endometriosis. In the event that the female does not engage in sexual activity to conceive, it typically lines the uterine cavity and is shed off during the monthly menstrual cycle. Endometriosis is diagnosed only on the basis of histology, with the criteria focused on finding endometrial glands and stroma anywhere beyond the uterine cavity.
