Abstract
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial implants typically occur in the pelvis It is associated with infertility, chronic pelvic pain leading to significant morbidity. The association between endometriosis and infertility is well supported throughout the literature, but a definite cause-effect relationship is still controversial. The aim of this study is to figure out the incidence of endometriosis in women with infertility. OBJECTIVES: To study the incidence of endometriosis in women with infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective observational study at Govt. RSRM Lying in Hospital on Patients attending the Outpatient clinics, Antenatal ward, Labourward. A total of 280 patients were studied and results were tabulated. RESULT: • Total incidence of endometriosis in infertility patients: 10.4% • The distribution of number of children in the study population which consist of 4.7 % with one child whereas 95.3% have no time children act. • The distribution of semen analysis which consists of 94.497% normal semen outcome Oligospermia in • 2.5% cases & Oligoteratozoospermia in 0.003548% • The medical disorder of the study population 7.5 % of the study population were found with the hypothyroidism whereas 92.5% were without any medical disorder. CONCLUSION: Endometriosis is being detected more often these days, due to early investigations and prompt seeking of medical care. In my study I have observed there is significant causal relationship between endometriosis and infertility. Incidence of endometriosis in patients with infertility is 10.4% which is quite lesser than the previous studies, still higher than the incidence in fertile patients. I conclude my study by saying that endometriosis is a condition that is one of the leading causes of infertility and hence early diagnosis and management are key to prevent or alleviate associated morbidities.
