Abstract

Adenomyosis is an enigmatic disease whose impact on implantation and fertility outcome is still controversial. A negative effect on IVF outcome was already observed, but it is mainly explained by an increase in early spontaneous miscarriages. We reviewed scientific data in order to bring relevant information about adenomyosis and endometrial receptivity for patient counselling and to precise if screening of adenomyosis is indicated before IVF treatment.
