Summary:Gonadal hormone levels have been evaluated in the follicular fluid of 67 women with tubal and peritoneal infertility. Follicular fluid concentrations of estradiol, progesterone and testosterone were compared with sonographically ascertained follicle sizes and growth rates. The results indicate a high incidence of peripheral damage of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in women with inflammatory diseases of the internal genitalia.
