[Endometriosis and sterility].

Relations between endometriosis and infertility are complex and difficult to establish. Numerous theories have been suggested, but none of them has proved conclusive. As always in case of endometriosis, medical and surgical treatments are open to discussion. The right time for medically assisted procreation is obvious in patients with tubal obstruction but in the others it varies according to age, duration of infertility and previous treatments.
