Abstract
This article aims to highlight the relationship between endometriosis and infertility, indicate the factors related to the epidemic, symptoms and diagnosis, focusing on the possible causes of childhood infertility in women affected by this pathology. Data collection was carried out through the Nursing Database (BDENF), the Online Scientific Electronic Library (SCIELO), PubMed and the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS). Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that compromises a woman's health and fertility, increases the risk of depression, limits her daily activities and, ultimately, reduces her quality of life, may be associated with immunological and endocrine disorders, as well as physical activity and tissue abnormalities. There are currently three types of treatment for infertility related to endometriosis: clinical treatment, surgery and methods required for assisted reproduction. Finally, it is well known that endometriosis causes infertility, but the relevant mechanisms require further investigation. The treatment that leads to this is not yet fully understood and there is no standard treatment for pathological patients.
