Endometriosis Treatment

The endometrial tissue is the name given to the tissue that grows on the lining of the uterus and protects the egg once it has been fertilised and implanted. When this tissue begins to grow outside the uterus, especially on other organs of the female reproductive system, the condition is called Endometriosis.

The condition affects the fertility factors of a woman by changing the shapes of the fallopian tubes, thus interrupting its function. Apart from this, endometriosis also develops a thick growth over the ovaries, called the endometriomas, that have an adverse effect on follicular growth and the production of healthy eggs in a female. The fortunate part is that there are treatments available to cure endometriosis. Procedures like laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are useful in helping women conceive through IV- ICSI.
