Infertility and a mild degree of endometriosis

: Laparoscopy of barren women in whom no other causes of impaired fertility can be demonstrated frequently reveals minimal areas of endometriosis. This review of the literature on infertility and mild endometriosis shows that there is no convincing study of the effectiveness of either surgical or specific forms of medical therapy for infertility and mild endometriosis. Continual treatment with gestagen may be tried. If this does not succeed the GIFT method may be applied.
