Endometriosis affects more than 6 million individuals in the U.S. and Canada, making it one of the leading causes of infertility. At Boston IVF, we understand the unique challenges that come with an endometriosis diagnosis and offer advanced fertility treatments to help individuals achieve their dream of parenthood.

If you need expert care for endometriosis-related infertility, our fertility care team is here to guide you.

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue (normally found inside the uterus) grows outside the uterus, often affecting the:

• Ovaries
• Fallopian tubes
• Pelvic cavity

Unlike regular endometrial tissue, which is shed during menstruation, this misplaced tissue cannot exit the body, leading to pain, inflammation, and scar tissue formation (adhesions).

Symptoms of Endometriosis

Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

• Pelvic pain and painful periods
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Pain during intercourse
• Painful bowel movements
• Lower back pain
• Infertility or difficulty conceiving

If you are struggling with chronic pelvic pain or have been trying to conceive without success, scheduling a fertility appointment at Boston IVF can help determine the best treatment path.

Endometriosis and Infertility

Endometriosis can interfere with natural conception in several ways:

• Scar tissue and adhesions can block the fallopian tubes, preventing the egg and sperm from meeting.
• Ovarian endometriomas (cysts) can reduce egg quality and ovarian reserve.
• Inflammation in the reproductive organs can disrupt the implantation process.

However, with expert care from Boston IVF, many individuals with endometriosis successfully conceive.

Diagnosing Endometriosis at Boston IVF

At Boston IVF, our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm an endometriosis diagnosis and tailor a personalized fertility treatment plan.

• Pelvic Ultrasound: Identifies ovarian cysts (endometriomas).
• Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that provides a definitive diagnosis and removes endometriosis lesions.
• Hormone Testing: Evaluates ovarian function and fertility potential.

If you suspect you have endometriosis, our fertility specialists can determine the best course of action to improve your fertility outcomes.

Fertility Treatment Options for Endometriosis

At Boston IVF, we offer several effective fertility treatments for individuals with endometriosis-related infertility:

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

IVF is one of the most successful fertility treatments for individuals with endometriosis. It bypasses many of the challenges caused by endometriosis, such as blocked fallopian tubes and poor egg quality. Our IVF labs near you use the latest technology to ensure the highest success rates.

• Egg retrieval and fertilization occur in our state-of-the-art laboratories
• Healthy embryos are transferred directly into the uterus
• Boston IVF locations offer convenient fertility treatment options

Laparoscopic Surgery

For patients with severe endometriosis, laparoscopic surgery may be recommended to remove endometriosis lesions and improve fertility. This minimally invasive procedure can increase the chances of natural conception or successful IVF treatment.

Ovulation Induction & IUI

For patients with mild endometriosis, ovulation induction medications (like Clomid or Letrozole) combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI) may be an affordable alternative to IVF.
