Patient's question:
Blood test revealed endometriosis. I dislike the long duration of medication and want to conceive quickly. What is the best approach?Question 1: Is artificial insemination unnecessary?
Question 2: Must I undergo IVF? Please advise!!!
First follow-up question: I am 30 years old and have been trying to conceive for a year. Symptoms: severe menstrual pain (manageable), prolonged periods. I am considering artificial insemination, but personally think it may not be very meaningful due to endometriosis.
Second follow-up question: My point is, if this condition is not treated, will artificial insemination be futile?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the success rate of IVF itself is already quite low, around 30%. Now that you also have endometriosis, the success rate will be even lower. Endometriosis issues usually require surgical treatment. It is recommended that you undergo specific surgery before attempting to conceive. The doctor will use some medications to promote the implantation of the embryo. You need to be mentally prepared that it may not succeed on the first try and may require a second surgery.
