Is pregnancy possible with endometriosis?

Having endometriosis does not necessarily imply that there is a sterility problem. In fact, between 50-70% of women with endometriosis achieve pregnancy without any complications.

On the other hand, the rest of patients with endometriosis do have an infertility due to the disease, either due to tubal obstruction or decreased ovarian reserve, among other causes.

In any case, the difficulty in achieving pregnancy will depend on the degree and extent of endometriosis by the female reproductive system.

Next, we will discuss each of the possible treatments to have children with endometriosis.





Pregnancy improves endometriosis

During pregnancy, the menstrual cycle of the woman stops because there is no secretion of female hormones that regulate ovulation and menstruation.

The ovaries remain at rest and, therefore, there is no production of estrogen, the hormones that favor the growth and development of endometrial plaques.

Thus, pregnancy has a protective effect on the development of the disease. During pregnancy, the woman will notice an improvement in symptoms such as pain.

In spite of this, it is important to bear in mind that pregnancy is not the solution for endometriosis, because it will reappear once the woman has given birth and the menstrual cycles return.

Gestation is only a transient improvement of endometriosis and not the definitive cure.
