📷 Endometriosis is a common condition in young women of reproductive age. It can cause infertility and pain. It reduces the fertility potential of a woman. In endometriosis, the tissue which is usually present in the uterus lining is present on ovaries, fallopian tubes, abdomen and ligaments supporting the uterus. This often causes internal bleeding and scarring, thus, damaging the reproductive organs. It damages the eggs and reduces the ovarian reserve. Cysts formed because of collected blood and inflammation are called endometrioma, which is usually present over the surface of the ovary.
– Retrograde Menstruation – Retrograde menstruation is common and occurs in most women during menstruation. It happens when blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity and inside the body instead of out of the vagina. These cells stick to the pelvic walls and continue to thicken and bleed during periods. – Surgical Scar Implantation – Endometriosis may occur due to the cells getting attached to a surgical incision after surgery.
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilisation, means fertilisation of egg and sperm outside the human body. Eggs are taken out from the ovary by a transvaginal needle prick procedure and the husband is asked to collect a sample of his semen. Selected sperm are injected in the eggs by a procedure called IVF/ICSI. Embryo is allowed to divide and develop in the lab for three to five days. One or two embryos are selected and transferred to the woman’s uterus. IVF is a technically advanced procedure to assist a couple with infertility.
