Mild endometriosis does not seem to be a factor in infertility and randomised trials (placebo and controlled trials) comparing medical treatments including danazol, gestrinone, medroxyprogesterone acetate and GnRH analogues with controls have shown no advantage in terms of pregnancy rates.
When there is severe endometriosis, pregnancy rates of 50% have been achieved following restoration of normal anatomy at laparotomy and similar success rates may be possible with minimally-invasive surgery.
