Patient's question:
I have been experiencing menstrual pain for three years. Last August, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, which caused it. After that, I had surgery. This year, I want to have a baby with my husband. I heard that it's difficult to get pregnant for those who have had endometriosis. I'm very worried. I want to ask, what is the chance of getting pregnant after surgery for endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Approximately 40% of women with endometriosis have infertility. However, during surgery, endometriotic lesions are removed, and the pelvic cavity is washed to stabilize the pelvic microenvironment, which may lower the pregnancy rate after surgery.First, you need to communicate with your surgeon to confirm the stage of endometriosis. Some women may need medication for a period after surgery before they can get pregnant, while others can conceive directly. This can only be determined by discussing with your surgeon. Additionally, endometriosis is prone to recurrence, so it is recommended to try to get pregnant as soon as possible after surgery. It is advised to conceive soon after endometriosis surgery.
