Does endometriosis effect implantation? Bilgin GURATES, MD
IMPLANTATION IS OR IS NOT AFFECTED BY ENDOMETRIOSIS • It’s a common disease and an enigmatic disease • This database gives us the dimension of this problem, which is a huge problem, • Many different experimental moldels, even animal models, that show that, this disease decreses fertility.
THE MECHANISM OF INFERTILITY • Altered folliculogenesis, • Ovulatory dysfunction, • Hyperprolactinemia, • Luteal phase defect, • Accelerated ovumtransport, • Sperm phagocytosis, • Impaired fertilization, • Embryotoxicity againstearly embryonic development, • Defective implantation
IMPLANTATION • Embryo quality, • This is a high indicator of how pregnancy rates can be more or less. • Endometrial receptivity, • Which is a crucial event. • Transfer efficiency, • That it is actually very important step in the implantation rate. control of hyper stimulation

Follicular-oocyte-embryo quality in endometriosis • Ovlatory dysfonction (Tummon 1988) • Pituitary-ovarian axis (Chaill 1995) • Over production of progesterone (Pellicer 1998) • IL-6 IL-1β, VEGF (Pellicer 1998) • Apoptosis (Toya 2000) • PGF2 (Bergqvist 1997) • MIS (Fallat 1997) • Inhibins A ,inhibins B, activin B (Akande 2000) • Endothelin-1 , (Abea 1994)
Conclusions • Clinic evidence using the oocyte donation model strongly suggest that the endometrium is NOT altered in women with endometriosis. • In-vitro studies on the endometrium of endometriosis patients do not support the hypothesis of an altered endometrial environment. • Rather, decrease oocyte /embryo quality seems to be cause of endometriosis related infertility .
Conclusions • None of the alterations described in the in-vitro studies is relevant for endometrial receptiveness. • Endometrial priming protocols used in OD cycles reestablishan adequate uterine cavity environment. • GnRHa restores the normal apoptotic rate.(Imai A, Am J ObstetGynecol 2000) • 3-monthcourse of GnRH-a(Surrey ES,FertilSteril 2002) • Artificial endometrial priming for OD could be beneficialin that down-regulation and the exogenous supply of Eand P(Cunha-Filho JS, J Assist ReprodGenet 2003) • Pinopode formationwith artificial priming has been demonstrated to be normalin these patients(Garcıa-Velasco JA,FertilSteril2001) • A questionthat remains to be answered concerns the endometrialreceptiveness of these patients in natural cycles.
