Summary: | Background/Aim. Endometriosis befalls in one of the most frequent gynecologic diseases. It manifests itself by the presence and growth of focus of endometrium out of the uterus cavum that reacts to hormonal stimulations as the normal uterus endometrium does. Hyperstimulation and induction of ovulation together with intrauterine insemination (IUI) are the most frequently used treatments of unexplained infertility in patients with mild type endometriosis. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of stimulation using human menopausal gonadotrophine (hMG) in the patients with mild type endometriosis to the patients with infertility of unknown ethiology. Methods. The study included 50 patients with unexplained infertility (group N), as well as 50 patients with mild type endometriosis (group E) confirmed by laparoscopy. Within the same therapeutic protocole hMG stimulation and horionic gonadotrophine induction (hCG) were used. Results. In the group E ovulation occurred in 74% of the patients during the first stimulation, in 77.78% during the second cycle, and in 75% of the patients during the third one. Regarding the group N, ovulation appeared in 82% of the patients during the first stimulation. Stimulation was performed two times more in 38 patients with unknown couse of infertility, and ovulation appeared in 84.21% of them. In the group N stimulation was performed three times in 28 women resulting in ovulation in 85.71% of them. Conclusion. Considering the obtained results it can be concluded that hMG stimulation and hCG induction are efficient in the treatment of infertility, particularly in mild type endometriosis.
