Markers of peritoneal damage in the diagnosis of endometriosis associated with fertility

Abstract

Introduction. The problem of infertility has an important socio-medical significance, which is caused by a sharp drop in the birth rate in the conditions of the current crisis. Despite years of research, endometriosis remains a disease of unknown etiology. Its prevalence is constantly increasing and is 15-50% of the entire population of women of reproductive age. The high social significance of the problem of endometriosis is determined by the fact that 30-40% of women with endometriosis suffer from infertility. In women with endometriosis, the addition of complications increases the level of stress, and the need for surgical correction creates prerequisites for psychosomatic disorders, which are additional risk factors in such patients. That is why there is an active search for the most effective minimally invasive options for diagnosis and therapy.
