The article highlights the clinical and pathogenetic relationships between endometriosis/adenomyosis and chronic endometritis (CE) within reproductive failures. It describes a cause-and-effect relationship between endometriosis/adenomyosis and CE by the example of its clinical symptomatology and the pathogenic mechanisms involving an autoimmune process, aseptic inflammation, and altered endometrial receptivity. Endometriosis/adenomyosis and CE have a number of common pathogenetic mechanisms of development and clinical manifestations (infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and assisted reproductive program failures). This implies the necessity to qualitatively assess the endometrium in women with endometriosis and adenomyosis during pregravid preparation, as well as the search for new therapeutic ways to correct autoimmune disorders. The use of sodium desoxyribonucleate (derinat) showing the pharmacological properties of an activator of the cellular and humoral immune system and a stimulator of reparative and regenerative processes is a promising approach to drug therapy.
