Managing the Infertility Patient with Endometriosis
This chapter offers practical recommendations for fertility preservation and sequencing surgery and IVF in women with endometriosis, considering disease impact on ovarian reserve and iatrogenic injury.

This chapter focuses on managing infertility in women with endometriosis, discussing fertility preservation decisions around surgery and assisted reproduction. It highlights that women with endometriosis may experience decreased ovarian reserve from both disease processes and iatrogenic effects of surgery, and it recommends avoiding repeat surgeries intended to improve fertility outcomes. The chapter states that long-term postoperative hormonal suppression can reduce endometrioma recurrence for patients not actively trying to conceive, and it notes that women with decreased ovarian reserve, advanced maternal age, or risk of bilateral ovarian injury may benefit from oocyte or ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to surgery. A key limitation is that the chapter provides practical recommendations without presenting new original data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides practical guidance on fertility preservation and sequencing surgery and IVF for endometriosis-associated infertility.
