Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus and sheds during menstruation grows outside its usual place, often causing painful periods and affecting fertility. This tissue can grow within the womb’s lining and continue to spread as long as menstruation continues.
Complete removal is usually not possible, as taking out too much can damage the uterus and affect the ability to carry a pregnancy, In severe cases, surgery may be done to remove some of the tissue, followed by hormone injections that stop menstruation for 3-6 months, allowing remaining tissue to shrink.
However, a more effective approach may be to register with an IVF clinic, undergo endometriosis surgery, and then begin IVF treatment while menstruation is suppressed. This gives the body a better chance to conceive while preventing further tissue growth. It’s important to check and balance your AMH levels and hormones before surgery to improve your chances of success.
