Endometriosis is still one of the most essential problems in practice of an obstetrician-gynecologist and affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. The most common form is ovarian endometrioma, which accounts in 17 to 44% of cases. Ovarian endometrioma is a common cause of infertility, distorting the anatomy of the small pelvis in a woman, altering hormonal and cellular function, and also leading to endocrine and ovulatory disorders, altered oocyte and embryo quality. It is known that the presence of an endometrioma, and not just surgical treatment, can lead to a reduced ovarian reserve. The review article presents modern methods of managing patients with ovarian endometrioma in order to preserve the reproductive potential of a woman.
