It is known that the presence of endometrioma negatively affects ovarian reserve. The development of endometriosis and the effect of the presence of endometrioma on ovarian reserve due to decreased PTEN expression are considered. This study was designed to compare ovarian PTEN-AKT-FOXO3 gene expression and ovarian reserve in patients with underwent surgery caused by endometrioma and those who had ovarian pathology due to other benign causes and PTEN-AKT-FOXO3 gene expression level will be evaluated by RT-PCR analysis.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PTEN-AKT-FOXO3 gene expression and decrease in ovarian reserve in the presence of endometrioma and other benign ovarian pathologies.
