Therapeutic options for infertility caused by endometriosis: A literature review
Abstract: Endometriosis is a multifactorial pathology, prevalent in women of reproductive age. Its main symptoms are pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility. This literature review used 88 articles from Medline, Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs databases that provide us with scientific potentials to synthetize the main treatments with regard to endometriosis-related infertility. There is a preference for surgical treatment, with laparoscopy as the main representative, although combined approaches and individuals such as hormonal, integrative practices and assisted reproduction treatment have gained prominence due to the invasive nature of the surgical procedure. Despite the information present in the published articles, more studies are needed to define more efficient, viable and accessible treatments to women.
Key words: Endometriosis, infertility, treatment.
