Most women suffering from endometriosis may have children. But if she fails to remain pregnant, the cause may be endometriosis. To be sure, you can perform a laparoscopy-screening method consisting of introducing an optical instrument into the abdominal cavity. Diagnosis can then be confirmed by biopsy. If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis, you have several treatment options, depending on severity.
Medication, alone or associated with surgery may reduce inflammation and pain. Surgery consists in removing, where possible, the affected tissue. In some women surgery significantly increases the chances of getting pregnant. However, in case of severe endometriosis, the number of successful tasks is reduced.
As many women with endometriosis have disorders of ovulation, another treatment option is to take fertility drugs (Clomid) to stimulate ovulation. Hormone therapy may also be indicated for the same reason. If you start to have a normal ovulation, your doctor may recommend artificial-insemination procedure which consists in placing sperm directly into the uterus.
It overlooks the fact that the standard treatment for endometriosis may prevent the installation of pregnancy, or can cause serious birth defects. Do not forget to tell your doctor that you are trying to get pregnant when he prescribes a treatment for endometriosis.
