The impact of endometrioma on IVF/ICSI outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Considering that the reduced ovarian reserve may be attributed to the presence of endometrioma per se, and the potential detrimental impact from surgical intervention, individualization of care for women with endometRIoma prior to IVF/ICSI may help optimize their IVF-ICSI results.

Endometriotic ovarian cysts do not negatively affect the rate of spontaneous ovulation

TL;DR: The physiological mechanisms leading to ovulation are deranged in ovaries with endometriomas, and the expected rate of ovulation in both ovaries in healthy women is similar.
