Abstract
A considerable number of women with abnormally low ( < 1 nmol/l) total testosterone levels were detected among infertile patients with external genital endometriosis (EGE). Surgical treatment for the latter resulted in a lower proportion of patients with this abnormality. The fact that the total testosterone value of < 1 nmol/l remains after surgical treatment for EGE is an essential risk factor that negatively affects the likelihood of spontaneous pregnancy in the postoperative period.
