Patient's question:
34-year-old woman, infertile for five years after marriage, recently diagnosed with endometriosis, which is difficult to heal on its own in the short term. She is eager to have a child and wants to consider IVF. Does endometriosis have a high success rate in a petri dish?Doctor's answer:
Compared to patients with other infertility causes, women affected by endometriosis are more likely to have an increased number of oocytes or successful in vitro maturation, and exhibit morphological changes and reduced cytoplasmic mitochondrial content, as well as poor endometrial receptivity. The success rate of IVF in patients with endometriosis is slightly lower compared to other patients, but success rates are not absolute and vary from person to person. Under the guidance of the attending physician, implementing intervention treatment often yields very good results.
