This finding together with the lack of a reliable scientific proof that surgical or medical removal of endometriosis increases the probability of a pregnancy, has led some clinicians to believe that infertility "causes" endometriosis and not the other way around.
Understandably, once endometriosis becomes so severe as to cause scarring around the Fallopian tubes and ovaries, it will be a factor in the probability of conception.
When we examine and treat couples with the diagnosis of endometriosis, almost invariably we find undiagnosed egg, sperm or tubal factors. This implies that the infertility investigation of a couple should not stop with the diagnosis of endometriosis and physicians should always look for and treat the underlying cause.
