During this treatment, ovulation is stimulated / induced with hormones to increase the chance of natural conception.
Endometriosis is a common condition that can affect your fertility.
At Nij Clinics, we understand how much of an impact this can have, both physically and emotionally. That is why we offer specialised treatments to support you in your wish to have a child.
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus; for example in the abdominal cavity, on or in the ovaries, or on the uterus, bladder, rectum or bowel wall. This can lead to inflammation, adhesions and cysts, causing pain and other symptoms.
Most women with endometriosis can get pregnant without any problems. Around 65% of women become pregnant without fertility treatment.
Endometriosis can affect fertility through:
Hormone therapy can be an effective way to slow the growth of endometriosis tissue and reduce symptoms such as pain and inflammation. This treatment affects your hormone balance, altering processes such as ovulation, the build-up of the endometrium and menstruation.
We cannot help with the treatment of endometriosis itself. Do you have reduced fertility (subfertility) due to endometriosis and wish to have a child? Then we are happy to help you.
Endometriosis can lead to reduced fertility (subfertility), which means that getting pregnant is more difficult, but not impossible. Depending on the severity of the situation and your individual circumstances, we can offer various
fertility treatments.
In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove adhesions or cysts. If surgery is needed, we will refer you to a specialist centre¹.
