Fertility & Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common condition that can impact fertility. Here are some ways endometriosis can affect fertility:
Scar tissue
Endometriosis can cause scar tissue to form in the pelvis, which can impact fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or preventing the egg from implanting in the uterus.
Hormonal imbalances
Endometriosis can cause imbalances in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which can impact fertility.
Treatment options
Treatment options for endometriosis and infertility may include medications to regulate hormones and manage pain, surgery to remove scar tissue or endometrial tissue, or fertility treatments such as IVF.
By understanding the impact of endometriosis on fertility, women can work with their healthcare providers to manage their condition and increase their chances of conception.
