Summary

Pelvic endometriosis is a complex estrogen-dependent inflammatory syndrome of unknown etiology, altering the microenvironment of the peritoneal cavity and probably endometrial receptivity, and adversely affecting the physiological processes associated with fertilization. Literature data suggest that the distribution of immune system cells in the eutopic endometrium in the presence of endometriosis differs from the physiological state. The functioning of the immune system seems to be significantly modified not only in the foci of endometriosis, but also in the eutopic endometrium, affecting its physiological functions. Chronic endometritis (CE) is a potential factor impairing endometrial receptivity in the course of endometriosis. However, it is not known whether CE is one of the complications of endometriosis or perhaps an element of its pathogenesis. At the moment, endometrial diagnostics is not obligatory in the treatment of endometriosis in women of reproductive age, but it could potentially bring additional benefits and contribute to the improvement of obstetric results and increase the effectiveness of infertility treatment in women with endometriosis.
