First birth rates after surgically verified subtypes of endometriosis—a national register study of 9,590 women from Finland
Peritoneal endometriosis was the most favorable subtype in terms of having a first birth. In addition, women with prior diagnosis of infertility had a good prognosis. The overall chance of first birth in women with surgically verified endometriosis seems good, but the findings emphasize the impact of both age and timely diagnosis of endometriosis, in addition to treatment of infertility.
