Endometriosis and infertility
Surgery is more effective for infertility than medicinal intervention in endometriosis. One study has shown that surgical treatment of endometriosis approximately doubles the fecundity (pregnancy rate). The use of medical suppression after surgery for minimal/mild endometriosis has not shown benefits for patients with infertility. Use of fertility medication that stimulates ovulation (clomiphene citrate, gonadotropins) combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI) enhances fertility in these patients.
Endometriosis Society of India
Endometriosis Society of India is a voluntary non-profit organisation that works to create awareness about endometriosis, training caregivers and service providers for better management of the condition and promoting research about endometriosis. Endometriosis is a benign yet progressive disease where the tissue that normally grows within the uterus grows outside of it – like on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the external uterus. Its main symptoms are pelvic pain and infertility.
