Changes in basement membrane thickness in the human endometrium during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.

abstract：:Significant association between endometriosis, including minor endometriosis, and infertility (or strictly subfertility) is shown by prevalence studies, but a causal relationship has not been established. This review focuses on evidence for pituitary-ovarian dysfunction as a cause for the subfertility. A methodologica...
