Abstract

Chronic endometritis is associated with adverse reproductive outcomes such as implantation failure and miscarriage. A high percentage of ineffective use of assisted reproductive technologies in chronic endometritis determines the need to study morphogenesis, timely diagnosis and pathogenetic therapy of this disease. The article presents a modern view of etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment tactics, as well as a clinical case of managing a patient with uterine infertility associated with repeated implantation failures, according to domestic and foreign literature.
