The study was performed to find association between some cytokine status indicators, level of vascular endothelial growth factors and vitamin D in women with infertility and external genital endometriosis (EGE) in order to increase the effectiveness of its treatment. The low vitamin D status in the dynamics was determined in 240 patients aged 25 to 35 years with EGE planning pregnancy by determining the level of 25 (OH) D in the blood serum using the chemiluminescent method. Interleukin status (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4), TNF-α, VEGFR-1 in blood serum was determined using enzyme-multiple immunoassay. The results of the studies revealed an increased level of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in groups with low vitamin D content. In normal vitamin D significantly lower levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR-1 ) in the blood serum were registered. Pregnancy rates were higher in groups with normal 25(OH)D levels in the blood serum. The mean serum VEGFR-1 level in pregnant women who became pregnant on their own was 1.3–1.5 times lower.
