Endometriosis and Infertililty



How to overcome endometriosis-induced infertility

Tissue lining the uterus (Endometrium) grows and thickens during a menstrual cycle to receive a fertilized egg (implantation). Without a pregnancy, the lining sheds and is discharged with blood during a menstrual period. Endometriosis occurs when this tissue grows outside the uterus and the shedding process deposits blood and tissue in the abdomen.
As a result, scar tissue can form in the fallopian tubes, adhere to the ovaries and/or cause misalignment of the organs, preventing natural conception. Although some women have no discomfort even with severe endometriosis, others experience abnormal menstrual bleeding and pain, tenderness in the abdomen and pelvis, and/or painful intercourse.

 

Infertility is often the after effect once endometriosis has been diagnosed. It is a disorder in which in other areas of the pelvis the endometrial or uterine tissue is developed. In the ovary and fallopian tubes, as well as the pelvic region, the same tissue can invade. In the abdomen, it can very seldom be detected. The tissue undergoes similar changes during the menstrual cycle, which are marked by internal bleeding in patients with endometriosis. It could also be painful.

 


When you see the doctor after being unable to conceive spontaneously for one year, the fertility doctor will make sure to rule out this disorder. However, while the cases are uncommon, a few women may be able to get pregnant even with endometriosis.

 

 

Our doctors will closely diagnose you to observe the adhesions that cause blockage, thereby hindering fertilization. Due to endometriosis, the fallopian tube may also be scarred and blocked, whereas the quantity and quality  of your egg may also decrease.

However, by carrying out some of the following methods as mentioned below, you can always conceive.

·       IVF

·       IUI

      Other techniques/methods in ART, such as surrogacy in complicated cases
