Effect of endometriosis stage on embryo chromosomal status

Endometriosis is the most common gynecologic disease among infertile women. Its wide variability of symptoms usually makes diagnosis possible when already producing pelvic pain or infertility. Endometriosis medical management depends on the severity of the disease and several staging systems have been developed by scientific societies, trying to standardize the optimal strategy. Differences in reproductive outcomes have been found between women with mild and severe endometriosis. In cases of advanced disease, anatomical changes of the reproductive tract and smaller ovarian reserve are obvious limiting factors to get pregnant.
