What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. This tissue responds to the monthly hormonal cycle, causing inflammation, scarring, and adhesions that can damage the ovaries, tubes, and uterus.
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and accounts for 25-50% of infertile women. Despite this, with the right treatment, excellent pregnancy outcomes are achievable.
Stages of Endometriosis
Minimal
Small, isolated implants with no scar tissue. Fertility is usually not affected significantly.
Mild
More implants, some shallow. Mild impact on fertility. Medical or surgical management often effective.
Moderate
Multiple implants, endometriomas (chocolate cysts), some adhesions. Fertility noticeably affected.
Severe
Extensive implants, large endometriomas, significant adhesions. IVF is often recommended for best chances.
Treatment Options
Laparoscopic Surgery
Surgical removal of endometriotic tissue, cysts (endometriomas), and adhesions. Improves natural fertility and IVF success rates. Minimally invasive with quick recovery.
Medical Management
Hormonal therapies (GnRH analogues, progesterone) to suppress endometriosis. Used before IVF to improve the uterine environment.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
Highly effective for endometriosis, especially Stage III-IV. Modified protocols, often with pre-IVF suppression, achieve excellent results even with significant endometriosis.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
Suitable for Stage I-II endometriosis with open fallopian tubes and good sperm quality. Combined with ovarian stimulation.
Lifestyle Optimisation
Anti-inflammatory diet, stress management, and supplements (vitamin D, omega-3) can help manage symptoms and support fertility treatment.
