Resumen
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder affecting women of reproductive age and can have a varied symptomatology including chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. The association of endometriosis and infertility has been recognized for years, although definite evidence of causality still eludes us. It is clear that in the advanced stage of the disease with mechanical disruption of the pelvic anatomy, infertility is easly explained. Nevertheless, the link between early stage endometriosis and infertility remains a source of controversy. The mechanisms of infertility associated with endometriosis include abnormal folliculogenesis, elevated oxidative stress, altered immune function, and hormonal milieu in the follicular and peritoneal environments, and reduced endometrial receptivity. These factors lead to poor oocyte quality, impaired fertilization, and implantation. In this manuscript we review the medical literature concerning the pathophysiology of the endometriosis-related infertility. 13 2 33 38 Abaé, M., Glassberg, M., Majercik, M.H., Yoshida, H., Vestal, R., Puett, D., Immunoreactive endothelin-1 concentrations in follicular fluid of women with and without endometriosis undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (1994) Fertil Steril, 61, pp. 1083-1087 Agarwal, A., Gupta, S., Sikka, S., The role of free radicals and antioxidants in reproduction (2006) Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol, 18, pp. 325-332 Aitken, R.J., Krausz, C., Oxidative stress, DNA damage and the Y chromosome (2001) Reproduction, 122, pp. 497-506 Al-Azemi, M., Bernal, A.L., Steele, J., Gramsbergen, I., Barlow, D., Kennedy, S., Ovarian response to repeated controlled stimulation in in-vitro fertilization cycles in patients with ovarian endometriosis (2000) Hum Reprod, 15, pp. 72-75 Amaral, V.F., Bydlowski, S.P., Peranovich, T.C., Navarro, P.A., Subbiah, M.T., Ferriani, R.A., Lipid peroxidation in the peritoneal fluid of infertile women with peritoneal endometriosis (2005) Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol, 119, pp. 72-75 Awadalla, S.G., Friedman, C.I., Haq, A.U., Roh, S.I., Chin, N.W., Kim, M.H., Local peritoneal factors: Their role in infertility associated with endometriosis (1987) Am J Obstet Gynecol, 157, pp. 1207-1214 Burns, W.N., Schenken, R.S., Pathophysiology of endometriosis-associated infertility (1999) Clin Obstet Gynecol, 42, pp. 586-610 Cahill, D.J., Wardle, P.G., Maile, L.A., Harlow, C.R., Hull, M.G., Ovarian dysfunction in endometriosis-associated and unexplained infertility (1997) J Assist Reprod Genet, 14, pp. 554-557 Carlberg, M., Nejaty, J., Fröysa, B., Guan, Y., Söder, O., Bergqvist, A., Elevated expression of tumour necrosis factor alpha in cultured granulosa cells from women with endometriosis (2000) Hum Reprod, 15, pp. 1250-1255 Díaz, I., Navarro, J., Blasco, L., Simón, C., Pellicer, A., Remohí, J., Impact of stage III-IV endometriosis on recipients of sibling oocytes: Matched case-control study (2000) Fertil Steril, 74, pp. 31-34 Dlugi, A.M., Loy, R.A., Dieterle, S., Bayer, S.R., Seibel, M.M., The effect of endometriomas on in vitro fertilization outcome (1989) J In Vitro Fert Embryo Transf, 6, pp. 338-341 Garrido, N., Navarro, J., Remohí, J., Simón, C., Pellicer, A., Follicular hormonal environment and embryo quality in women with endometriosis (2000) Hum Reprod Update, 6, pp. 67-74 Gupta, S., Goldberg, J.M., Aziz, N., Goldberg, E., Krajcir, N., Agarwal, A., Pathogenic mechanisms in endometriosis-associated infertility (2008) Fertil Steril, 90, pp. 247-257 Harlow, C.R., Cahill, D.J., Maile, L.A., Talbot, W.M., Mears, J., Wardle, P.G., Reduced preovulatory granulosa cell steroidogenesis in women with endometriosis (1996) J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 81, pp. 426-429 Inoue, M., Kobayashi, Y., Honda, I., Awaji, H., Fujii, A., The impact of endometriosis on the reproductive outcome of infertile patients (1992) Am J Obstet Gynecol, 167, pp. 278-282 Jha, P., Farooq, A., Agarwal, N., Buckshee, K., In vitro sperm phagocytosis by human peritoneal macrophages in endometriosis-associated infertility (1996) Am J Reprod Immunol, 36, pp. 235-237 Khorram, O., Lessey, B.A., Alterations in expression of endometrial endothelial nitric oxide synthase and alpha(v)beta(3) integrin in women with endometriosis (2002) Fertil Steril, 78, pp. 860-864 Lebovic, D.I., Mueller, M.D., Taylor, R.N., Immunobiology of endometriosis (2001) Fertil Steril, 75, pp. 1-10 Lessey, B.A., Castelbaum, A.J., Buck, C.A., Lei, Y., Yowell, C.W., Sun, J., Further characterization of endometrial integrins during the menstrual cycle and in pregnancy (1994) Fertil Steril, 62, pp. 497-506 Loh, F.H., Tan, A.T., Kumar, J., Ng, S.C., Ovarian response after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for endometriotic cysts in 132 monitored cycles (1999) Fertil Steril, 72, pp. 316-321 Mahmood, T.A., Templeton, A., Folliculogenesis and ovulation in infertile women with mild endometriosis (1991) Hum Reprod, 6, pp. 227-231 Marcoux, S., Maheux, R., Bérubé, S., Laparoscopic surgery in infertile women with minimal or mild endometriosis.
