Impaired oocyte quality in endometriosis patients has been accused for the unsuccessful outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques. There are limited studies in literature evaluated association between endometriosis and oocyte morphology. We conducted this retrospective study to evaluate whether morphological abnormalities of oocytes are more common in women with endometriosis than women with diagnosis of male factor infertility as a source of healthy oocytes. Totally 1568 oocytes, 775 (49.4%) in endometriosis groups and 793 (50.6%) in control group were evaluated for morphological parameters before ICSI cycles. Abnormal oocyte morphology was detected in 352 (22.4%) of 1568 oocytes. Of the abnormal oocytes, 208 (59.1%) were in endometriosis group and 144 (40.9%) in control group (p < .001). The following dysmorphisms were significantly higher in oocytes retrieved from endometriosis group: dark cytoplasm; dark, large or thin zona pellucida; and flat or fragmented polar body (p < .05 for all). When morphological parameters for oocytes of endometriosis patients evaluated, the oocyte defects has increased significantly in endometriosis patients. These findings are thought to be useful to clarify the subfertility in endometriosis patient, which needs to be confirmed with further studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEndocrinology & metabolismObstetrics & gynecologyEndometriosisOocyte morphologyInfertilityIntracytoplasmic sperm injectionIn-vitro fertilizationRecombinant human fshInfertile womenProgesterone elevationOxidative stressOvarian reservePregnancy ratesEmbryo-transferQualityOutcomesAdultCell shapeEmbryo transferEndometriosisFemaleHumansInfertilityFemaleOocyte retrievalOocytesPregnancyPregnancy rateRetrospective studiesSperm injections, intracytoplasmicArticle0004244216000082-s2.0-8504113514220621134329057690Endocrinology & metabolismObstetrics & gynecologyDienogest; Ovarian Reserve; ElagolixEstradiolGonadotropinLuteinizing hormoneMuellerian inhibiting factorProgesteroneRecombinant chorionic gonadotropinAdultArticleCell structureClinical outcomeCohort analysisControlled studyCytoplasmDisease associationEndometriosisFemaleFertilizationHumanHuman cellIntracytoplasmic sperm injectionMajor clinical studyOvulation inductionPolar bodyPriority journalRetrospective studySubfertilityZona pellucidaCell shapeEmbryo transferEndometriosisFemale infertilityIntracytoplasmic sperm injectionOocyteOocyte retrievalPathologyPhysiologyPregnancyPregnancy rate
