Despite significant developments in medical and surgical approaches for treating endometriosis, the optimal therapy has yet to be established. The relationship between prevalence of fecundity and stage of endometriosis according to their management was studied. Of 151 consecutive women with laparoscopy-proved endometriosis stage-1 and 2, operative laparoscopy was performed in 49, medical treatment in 59 and expectant management in 43 cases. During a 24-month period the cumulative pregnancy rates were found to be 36.7%, 30.5% and 20.9% respectively. Survival analysis showed that the probability of carrying the pregnancy beyond 20 weeks were 30.6%, 25.4% and 16.2% respectively. Diagnosis and treatment of early endometriosis is beneficial for the infertile women. Laparoscopic surgery seems to be the milestone of treatment in these cases, increasing the fecundity and involving minimal risk. |
