Endometriosis & Fertility – Impact on Egg Quality and Implantation
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, we provide specialized care for women with endometriosis, a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis can lead to inflammation, scarring, and adhesions in the pelvic organs, significantly affecting egg quality, ovulation, and embryo implantation. Our expert gynecologists use a combination of advanced diagnostics, medical therapies, minimally invasive surgery, and assisted reproductive techniques to help women manage symptoms and improve fertility outcomes.

FAQs:
What is the connection between endometriosis and infertility?
Endometriosis causes inflammation, scarring, and hormonal imbalances that reduce egg quality, disrupt ovulation, and impair implantation, making conception difficult.
Can women with endometriosis conceive naturally?
Yes, many women with mild to moderate endometriosis can conceive naturally, but advanced cases often require fertility treatments like IVF.
How is endometriosis diagnosed in relation to fertility issues?
Diagnostic laparoscopy is the most reliable method, along with ultrasound and MRI to assess ovarian cysts and pelvic adhesions.
Does surgery improve fertility in women with endometriosis?
Yes, laparoscopic surgery to remove endometriotic lesions and cysts can improve fertility, but outcomes vary based on severity and ovarian reserve.
Is IVF successful for women with endometriosis?
Yes, IVF bypasses many fertility barriers caused by endometriosis, with high success rates, especially when combined with proper medical management.
