Endometriosis and Infertility What Are the Realistic Chances of Conception After Treatment?
4 months ago
I have endometriosis, and the doctor says it could be a major cause of my infertility. I have tried medications and laparoscopic surgery, but nothing has worked so far. I am worried that my age and the severity of the condition will further reduce my chances. How do women with endometriosis usually approach fertility treatment, and what outcomes can realistically be expected?

Women with endometriosis often pursue a combination of surgery and assisted reproductive technologies. Surgery can remove endometriotic tissue and improve the pelvic environment, while IVF bypasses factors like blocked tubes or poor egg release. Success rates vary depending on age, ovarian reserve, and severity of the disease. Early intervention is beneficial, and doctors usually discuss realistic outcomes, including the possibility of multiple cycles or using donor eggs if ovarian function is compromised. Emotional support, stress management, and maintaining overall health are vital during this challenging journey.
