Endometriosis can cause pain and affect fertility — but with the right combination of surgery and IVF, many women with endometriosis go on to have a baby.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic lining. It can cause painful periods, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse and, in many women, difficulty conceiving.
Endometriosis affects fertility in several ways — distorting pelvic anatomy, affecting egg quality and the tubes, and creating inflammation. Treatment is individualised: laparoscopic surgery helps in selected cases, and IVF is often the most effective route to pregnancy.
