Abstract

Objective To evaluate the ovarian reserve and follicular cohort of infertile patients with minimal/mild endometriosis.Design Prospective study.Setting University hospital.Patient(s) Patients were divided into two groups: group I, minimal/mild endometriosis and group II, tubal obstruction. The following exclusion criteria were established: [1] patients with previous endocrine disorders; and [2] cases in which the cause for infertility was other than endometriosis (except for patients with tubal obstruction, in the control group).Intervention(s) Serum FSH and anti-Müllerian hormone were measured on day 3. On the same day all patients were submitted to transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the antral follicular count and the ovarian follicular cohort.Main outcome measure(s) Serum FSH, anti-Müllerian hormone, and the follicular cohort with the respective antral follicular count.Result(s) Serum FSH were not different between the groups. However, infertile patients with endometriosis have a decreased serum anti-Müllerian hormone (1.26 +/- 0.7 ng/mL) compared to the control group (2.02 +/- 0.72 ng/mL). The analysis of follicular cohort showed that the number of selectable follicles were similar, but the follicular diameter was different.Conclusion(s) Minimal/mild endometriosis is associated with a decrease in the follicular ovarian reserve. In addition, the follicular cohort of these patients is more heterogeneous in comparison to the control group.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
