Abstract

The prevalence of endometriosis was investigated in 208 women at the time of laparoscopic tubal sterilization. In 101 women who were in the first trimester of pregnancy, 16% endometriosis was found. In 107 non-pregnant women, 22% endometriosis was detected. Endometriosis in the pregnant women showed more superficial, non-pigmented, gland-like lesions than in the non-pregnant group. In 23% of the endometriotic lesions from pregnant women, no decidualization was found. No special risk factors for developing endometriosis were found.
