Endometriosis: Lakhs of women are affected by it, treatment will be like this

Indore. Endometriosis is a condition that affects millions of women around the world, often causing fertility challenges. The disorder occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb, causing pain, swelling and sometimes scarring that can interfere with conception.

Despite its impact on fertility, there are effective treatment options that can significantly improve the chances of pregnancy for women with endometriosis.

For mild to moderate cases of endometriosis, laparoscopic surgery can remove endometrial tissue and adhesions, restoring reproductive function. This minimally invasive procedure has been shown to increase fertility in many women by improving the health of the reproductive organs.

In addition to surgery, hormonal treatments such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists can help reduce endometriosis symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening.

“Endometriosis can seriously impact fertility, but various treatment options can improve your chances of conceiving,” says Dr Aastha Jain Sharma, IVF specialist at Birla Fertility and IVF Indore.

Laparoscopic surgery, hormonal therapy, and assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF provide viable solutions. Success rates vary depending on the severity of the condition, but with the right interventions, many women with endometriosis can achieve successful pregnancies.
