To help you know about the possibility, experts of a renowned IVF clinic in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World have penned down this insightful blog. Read to know about your chances of motherhood! But, before you know about your possibilities, it is important for you to know what endometriosis is.
What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a disorder where tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus grows anywhere outside the uterus. “Endometrium refers to the inner layer or lining of the uterus. During menstruation, this lining thickens and sheds. If this lining grows outside the uterus, it still thickens and sheds with our regular menstrual cycle. But, since it can’t leave the body like a regular period, it gets stuck and causes abnormalities. It can grow in several places, including ovary, fallopian tube, muscles of the uterus, or anywhere in the pelvic zone,” explains Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad.
Does Endometriosis lead to infertility
Does endometriosis lead to infertility – that is a very common query most women with this health condition have. “The truth is endometriosis doesn’t confirm infertility. You can conceive naturally even if you have been diagnosed, depending on the severity of the disease. And if it doesn’t work, you will have multiple options to fulfil your dream of becoming a mother,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, leading IVF specialist Ghaziabad and Founder & Director of Gunjan IVF World – a famous IVF center in Ghaziabad. Gunjan IVF World has three other highly advanced clinics in Janakpuri, Meerut and Noida. Dr. Gunjan leads a team of highly experienced IVF specialists comprising Dr. Garima Sharma, Dr. Shubhda Gupta, Dr. Aastha Raheja, Dr. Anshu Dhar and Dr. Meenakshi Arya.
How does endometriosis affect pregnancy?
Endometriosis can affect pregnancy in a multiple ways. “For you to become pregnant, your egg needs to complete a long journey. It must pass through the ovary, the fallopian tube; and reach the uterus for fertilisation. The fertilised egg then implants into the uterine lining. Anything causing disturbance to this journey can potentially cause infertility,” says Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant & Centre In- Charge at the best IVF clinic in Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World, who else!
There are multiple adverse effects of endometriosis. The ones that cause infertility are listed below:
- Scar tissues that block the path of the eggs to the uterus
- Fibrous tissue or adhesions, causing pelvic tissue and organs to stick to each other
- Cyst known as endometrioma in ovaries
- Inflammation and distortion of pelvic structure
- Scarred fallopian tubes
- Changed hormonal environment of eggs
- Altered eggs quality
- Impaired implantation of a pregnancy
How to get pregnant with endometriosis?
“Women with endometriosis can get pregnant naturally. Stage I and II of the disease don’t necessarily cause major infertility. If it does, you may be advised surgical treatment, laparoscopy, to remove the tissue,” says Dr. Shubhda Gupta, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – best IVF centre in Noida.
The treatment differs according to the age and existing health conditions of the patient. “For younger women who are below the age of 35, surgery is recommended to increase the chance of getting pregnant naturally. If, within 6-7 months, the couple can’t get pregnant, fertility treatment is recommended,” says Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World, a well-known IVF clinic in Indirapuram. Common fertility treatments for this include medication, IUI and IVF.
“For women above 35 years age, the chances of getting pregnant get lower; hence, in-vitro fertilisation or IVF is more recommended than other processes. For moderate to severe cases (stage III and IV), if surgical removal doesn’t help with conception, generally IVF is recommended,” added Dr. Gunjan Gupta of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF center in Delhi.
