Ovarian reserve assessment in XXXX with different stages of pelvic endometriosis.

@entity1 @entity249 @entity588 @entity2371 @entity46
INTRODUCTION: @entity46 is defined as the appearance of ectopic endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic cells demonstrate functional similarity to eutopic cells, but structural and molecular differences are significant and manifest themselves in gene expression of the metalloproteinase genes, integrin or the @entity588 gene. @entity2371 remains to be the main symptom of the disease. @entity46 may cause dysfunction of the reproductive system and lead to @entity249 . Pathogenesis of @entity249 in @entity46 is based on its influence on the hormonal, biochemical and immunological changes in the eutopic endometrium, as well as structural damages of the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess the ovarian reserve in @entity1 with @entity46 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 39 @entity1 (aged 22-34 years) with different stages of endometrial changes were recruited for the study. The number of antral follicles was rated by vaginal ultrasonography and the level of FSH was measured between days 1-3 of the menstrual cycle. The stage of the disease was established after laparoscopy with the rASRM scale. RESULTS: No statistically significant correlation between the number of follicles (AFC), the level of FSH and the stage of @entity46 was found. CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of the number of antral follicles and measurements of the FSH level do not allow to predict the ovarian reserve in @entity1 with @entity46 .
