external genital endometriosis, infertility, endometrium, receptivity, painAbstract
Endometriosis, or endometrioid disease, is a chronic estrogen-dependent gynecological disease caused by ectopic localization
of endometrial tissue, mainly in the pelvis and ovaries. However, at the present stage of development of reproductive medicine,
the classical topographic definition of endometriosis should be expanded with new significant characteristics established using
the achievements of cell and molecular biology, which allowed a more detailed study of the pathogenesis of this disease.
In addition, the introduction of personalized approaches to the treatment of patients with endometriosis and infertility, more
attention should be paid to the search for disease predictors and the formation of risk groups with the observation of patients
from puberty to menopause. In this review, we have analyzed the literature data and our own studies with an emphasis on factors and markers of decreased receptivity of eutopic endometrium in women with endometriosis, as well as pain, the manifestations of which can contribute to the exact diagnosis of external genital endometriosis.
