Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Medical treatment alone will not improve fertility. Surgical treatment, in the form of ablation or removal of endometriosis lesions, can improve fertility. Studies have shown that surgical treatment of endometriosis improves the chances of spontaneous pregnancy by 40%. Fertility treatment such as intra-uterine insemination of sperm (IUI) and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) can also improve the chances of pregnancy in women with endometriosis. It is also probable that IUI and IVF will be more likely to succeed if any endometriosis is treated surgically prior to performing such fertility treatment.
Instructions:
Stress Reduction: Control endometriosis symptoms through stress reduction.
What to do:
-- Enjoy relaxing pastimes and hobbies.
-- Spending time in meditation and prayer.
-- Learn and engage breathing techniques for relaxation.
-- Go outside into nature and sunshine regularly.
How it works:
The stress hormone, cortisol, is a contributor to the development of other hormones. Prolonged stress may decrease the available progesterone necessary in the prevention of extra-uterine endometrial tissue.
