Overview

Endometriosis is a medical condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrial tissue) grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation, scarring, and adhesions in the pelvic region. This can lead to various symptoms, including pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during sex, and infertility. When endometriosis affects fertility, it is typically due to the formation of adhesions around the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or uterus, which can prevent the eggs from being fertilized or interfere with implantation. Treatment options for endometriosis and fertility depend on several factors, including the severity of the disease, the patient's age, and the desire to conceive. Some common treatment options include: Pain management: For mild cases of endometriosis, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain during menstrual cycles. Hormonal therapy: Hormonal therapy aims to reduce the production of estrogen and slow the growth of endometrial tissue. This can be done with birth control pills, progestin-only pills, or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery can be used to remove endometrial tissue, adhesions, and cysts. This can help improve fertility in some cases. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART): For couples struggling with infertility due to endometriosis, ART procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be recommended. In these cases, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory before being transferred to the uterus
