摘要
Endometriosis is a factor known to be associated with infertility. This article presents a summary of the disease process and reviews the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility. The purpose of the article is to provide practitioners with the best available evidence, which will potentially translate into improved outcomes for women suffering from this disorder.
