Patients with endometriosis may be at a higher risk for\u00a0miscarriages, lowering their live birth chances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFinally, there may be an immunological factor involved in endometriosis. There is possibility of association of\u00a0autoimmunity\u00a0and endometriosis, suggesting that endometriosis, indeed, may be an autoimmune disease. It is now widely accepted that the immune system, indeed, plays an important role in endometriosis-associated infertility.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
How endometriosis affects IVF success rates?<\/b><\/p>\n
Endometriosis appears to affect\u00a0IVF\u00a0adversely, from reducing the number of eggs at the time of retrieval to poorer egg quality, and lower implantation and pregnancy rates. However, most endometriosis patients will still be able to conceive with IVF.<\/p>\n
Can “unexplained infertility” be endometriosis?<\/b><\/p>\n
Endometriosis often initially presents as “unexplained infertility,” a diagnosis WELLING CLINIC does not believe in. Many studies in the literature point to similar patient profiles in women with endometriosis and unexplained infertility. They also present with similar immune profiles.<\/p>\n
In most cases of so-called “unexplained infertility,” we, however, can pinpoint a real cause of infertility by performing appropriate diagnostic tests, even though correct diagnosis of endometriosis can be difficult.<\/p>\n
Whats the treatment for Endometriosis?<\/b><\/p>\n
As fertility specialists we, however, are always concerned about the surgical treatment of endometriosis: especially if surgery involves the ovaries, we often see that such surgery ends up removing the last vestiges of functioning ovarian tissue, and puts the patient into menopause. CHR, therefore, rarely recommends surgery before patients have completed their families.<\/p>\n
Endometriosis infertility treatment<\/strong>\u00a0requires special expertise. Such need for special expertise is not limited to surgery for endometriosis. Fertility treatments often involve increases in estrogen levels. Estrogen, however, can “feed” endometriosis, and make it worse.<\/p>\nFinding the right balance between advantages and risks of different infertility treatments, therefore, is always of utmost importance in the treatment of endometriosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
