Mild endometriosis and luteal function.

J Balasch, J A Vanrell

International Journal of Fertility

|January 1, 1985

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Mild endometriosis does not appear to cause infertility due to luteal phase defects. Studies found similar luteal function in infertile women with and without endometriosis compared to fertile women.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Endocrinology
Infertility Research

Background:

Endometriosis is associated with infertility.
The role of luteal function in endometriosis-related infertility requires clarification.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare luteal function in women with mild endometriosis and infertility versus infertile women without endometriosis.

Main Methods:

Compared luteal phase deficiency incidence.
Measured luteal phase length.
Assessed plasma progesterone, estradiol, and prolactin levels.

Main Results:

Similar incidence of endometrial luteal phase deficiency in both infertile groups.
Comparable luteal phase length and hormone levels (progesterone, estradiol, prolactin) to fertile controls.

Conclusions:

Luteal phase defects are not a primary cause of infertility in mild endometriosis.
Findings suggest other mechanisms underlie infertility in mild endometriosis.
