Endometriosis is a disease affecting fertility in many women. However, the mere presence of what is defined as endometriosis cannot be accepted per se as a cause of infertility or an indication for therapy. In the minimal or mild stage the activity rather than the presence should be the criterion for diagnosis as a disease. It is also clear that the endpoint of treatment of endometriosis in infertility is not the elimination of the implants but rather the inactivation or neutralization of its activity.
子宫内膜异位症是一种影响众多女性生育能力的疾病。然而，仅仅存在被定义为子宫内膜异位症的情况本身并不能被视为不孕的原因或治疗指征。在轻微或轻度阶段，作为一种疾病的诊断标准应是其活性而非仅仅是存在。同样明确的是，子宫内膜异位症在不孕症治疗中的终点不是消除植入物，而是使其活性失活或中和。
