TÉCNICAS DE REPRODUÇÃO ASSISTIDA APLICADAS A INDIVÍDUOS COM DIAGNÓSTICO DE ENDOMETRIOSE E INFERTILIDADE

Abstract

Endometriosis is a condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, forming lesions in peritoneal, deep tissues, and ovarian cysts. These lesions induce a chronic inflammatory response that leads to pain and conception difficulties. The present study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the literature on female infertility resulting from endometriosis, describing the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the disease, as well as its relationship and potential contributions to infertility in women affected by this condition. This focused study is an integrative literature review, with the central goal of employing methodological approaches to identify, select, and consolidate relevant outcomes in a specific area of knowledge. In the context of this work, we will adopt the PICo strategy (as illustrated in Table 1) to formulate the guiding question: "What are the main approaches of assisted reproductive techniques used in individuals diagnosed with endometriosis and infertility?". A broad range of innovations in assisted reproductive technologies has been examined, with emphasis on the impact of these innovations on addressing infertility. In conclusion, the integrative literature review on the topic of infertility and assisted reproductive techniques has revealed a diverse range of information spanning from scientific advancements to the emotional and ethical challenges faced by couples and individuals on this journey. The careful analysis of the selected articles has provided a deeper understanding of the clinical, psychosocial, and ethical implications associated with the use of these technologies.
