Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to have a child. I haven't been pregnant for many years. When I went to the hospital for a detailed examination, the doctor said there was a slight endometriosis. The ultrasound was normal. Usually, before my period, I have lower abdominal heaviness and pain. I would like to consult if infertility due to endometriosis can be treated?Doctor's answer:
1. Endometriosis does indeed have a certain correlation with infertility, but it is not inevitable. Moreover, there are now effective treatments available for endometriosis, and once the condition is relieved, there is no need to worry. If a patient with endometriosis becomes pregnant, the symptoms caused by the condition, such as menstrual cramps, can be alleviated to some extent.2. This is mainly because, during pregnancy, a woman's body continuously produces more progesterone, which can cause the ectopic endometrial tissue to swell and shed. This can alleviate menstrual cramps to some extent and increase menstrual flow. Symptoms may even be completely relieved by the time she gives birth.
