Outcome of the IVF for the Patients with Endometrioma Associated Infertility

ObjectiveTo evaluate the ovarian response to the gonadotrophin (Gn) in the COH and observe the outcome of IVF for the patients with endometriomas.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 32 patients with endometrioma undergoing IVFET. It included 71 cycles, and 59 cycles in 32 patients with tubal factor associated infertility were as the control.ResultsThere were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the cancelling rate (P<0.01), the E2 concentration in the day of hCG injection (P<0.05), retrieval eggs(P<0.001), rate of fertilization (P<0.05), rate of cleavage (P<0.05), obtained embryos (P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in the clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and delivery rate, P all>0.05.ConclusionThe patients with endometriomas had a poor response to the Gn in the COH. The endometrial accessibility in patients with endometriomas seemed not to be affected by the presence of endometriomas. But considering the higher cancelling rate, the prognostic for the patients with endometriomas was worth than the patients with tubal factor associated infertility.
