What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a medical condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus in places where it does not belong. These growths, called endometriosis implants, are most commonly found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the outer surface of the uterus, and the pelvic lining.
This condition is closely associated with an elevated risk of infertility or challenges in becoming pregnant, affecting up to 30–50% of women with the condition. Research has demonstrated that the severity and extent of endometriosis observed during laparoscopy significantly predict future fertility outcomes. Advanced cases with widespread endometriosis lesions or adhesions may have a more pronounced impact on reproductive health.

Treatment options for managing endometriosis-related infertility
Treatment options for endometriosis-related infertility aim to improve fertility by addressing the endometriosis itself or by optimizing other factors that may contribute to difficulty conceiving.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
May be used for mild cases of endometriosis, often combined with ovulation-stimulating medications to increase the chances of conception.
Single women using donor sperm
Those who don’t have needs that require IVF.
Lesbian couples and individuals assigned female at birth
Those who require donor sperm and intend to carry the pregnancy.
Mild male infertility issues
In such cases, placing the washed sperm directly can be more effective than relying on natural conception alone.
Individuals with endometriosis or those facing ovulatory or cervical issues.
In our lab, sperm is directly injected into each egg to fertilize it. This process is known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
Endometriosis Treatments and Related Infertility FAQs
Yes, surgery for endometriosis can improve fertility in many cases. However, its effectiveness depends on factors such as the severity of the condition, the type of surgery performed, and individual patient characteristics.
IVF plays a key role in treating infertility caused by endometriosis, particularly in moderate to severe cases or when other treatments have been ineffective. It bypasses blocked fallopian tubes and addresses issues like scarring and inflammation by fertilizing eggs outside the body and directly transferring embryos into the uterus. IVF offers a controlled environment for fertilization and increases the chances of a successful pregnancy, especially when endometriosis impacts egg quality or implantation.
Yes, lifestyle changes can help manage endometriosis-related infertility by improving overall health and supporting reproductive function. While lifestyle modifications alone may not resolve infertility, they can complement medical treatments and improve outcomes.
Natural treatments for endometriosis-related infertility can help manage symptoms and support fertility, though their effectiveness varies. Approaches include dietary changes (anti-inflammatory foods), herbal remedies (turmeric, ginger, Vitex), acupuncture, pelvic floor therapy, and mind-body practices like yoga and meditation. Maintaining a healthy weight and using essential oils may also provide benefits. While these treatments can complement conventional care, they should not replace medical treatments and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
Endometriosis can affect pregnancy once conceived, with potential complications including increased risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, preterm labor, placental problems, and ovarian cyst concerns. Some women may also experience continued pelvic pain. However, with proper medical monitoring and care, many women with endometriosis can have successful pregnancies. Regular checkups and careful management are essential to address any complications.
The IUI procedure itself is quick, typically taking about 15 to 20 minutes. The process includes sperm preparation and insemination, which are done in a fertility clinic prior to the procedure day. The insemination part involves inserting a thin catheter with prepared sperm into the uterus, which is generally painless or mildly uncomfortable for the woman. Afterward, she may rest for about 10 to 15 minutes, but overall, the entire visit usually lasts around 30 minutes to an hour.
If fertility treatments for endometriosis are unsuccessful, the next steps include reevaluating the diagnosis and treatment plan, considering alternative treatments like IVF or egg/embryo freezing, and exploring options like donor eggs, surrogacy, or adoption. Lifestyle changes, complementary approaches, and emotional support can also help. For some, focusing on pain management and quality of life may become the priority. These decisions should be discussed with a fertility specialist to determine the best course of action.
