Post-laparoscopy predictive factors of achieving pregnancy in patients treated for infertility.

INTRODUCTION

Laparoscopy is a long-established diagnostic and therapeutic method for treating women suffering from infertility. The application of this method of treatment can help achieve pregnancy only if there is correct classification of patients and evaluation of their partner's reproductive capacity. The main predictors of achieving pregnancy in a couple treated for infertility are the woman's age, her ovarian reserve, tubal patency, the presence of endometriosis and quality of sperm parameters.

AIM

To evaluate the effect of endometriosis, ovarian reserve and selected parameters of semen on the effect of achieving pregnancy in patients undergoing laparoscopy.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The most significant predictor of pregnancy in patients undergoing laparoscopy due to infertility was found to be anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level after laparoscopy, and the main parameters of semen partners were density, motility and morphology. The number of achieved pregnancies after the laparoscopic treatment of infertility was lower in patients diagnosed with endometriosis, and depended on the severity of the condition.

RESULTS

As a result of laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis, we found a decrease in ovarian reserve measured by means of AMH.

CONCLUSIONS

The most important predictors of pregnancy in patients who underwent laparoscopy due to infertility are post-laparoscopy AMH levels and the main parameters of the partner's semen: density, motility and morphology. The number of pregnancies after laparoscopic treatment is lower in patients diagnosed with endometriosis, and depends on the severity of the conditio.
