Our results suggest that ovarian varices may play a very important role in the physiopathology of endometriosis. Ovarian varices may evolve with oxidative stress in the function of the ovary, provoking an imbalance in its genetic, hormonal, and immunologic aspects and provoking the chronic inflammatory process particular to endometriosis.
