Endometriosis: What can IVI do for me?

Endometriosis consists of the creation of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, while in normal conditions the endometrium grows inside the uterine cavity and is shed with menstruation. The abnormal appearance of the endometrium can occur in places such as the pelvis, ovaries or bladder, which is why this disease is accompanied by severe pain and irregular bleeding. Endometriosis is a chronic but benign gynecological disease, the most important consequence of which is infertility in some women who suffer from it.

Reasons to suspect you have endometriosis

In addition to the aforementioned, the main symptoms of endometriosis are:

• More painful menstrual periods than usual
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Pain during or after sexual intercourse
• Gastrointestinal or urination discomfort

For years endometriosis has been referred to as a silent disease, although given the symptoms it does not go unnoticed by women who suffer from it. Around a million women in Spain suffer from endometriosis, although there could be many more since this disease is difficult to diagnose, since its symptoms can be confused with the usual effects of menstruation.

Another of the most important consequences of suffering from endometriosis is infertility. In these cases, if the woman who suffers from it wishes to be a mother, reproductive medicine is a great ally. This is when IVI is important, as we have a specific endometriosis unit.
