    Should women with infertility-related endometriosis automatically resort to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?

    I don’t think there’s anything like “infertility-related endometriosis”.
    Infertility is one of the symptoms of endometriosis.

    It is still unclear how endometriosis causes infertility. However, studies have shown that endometriosis is present in up to 40% of women suffering from infertility whilst up to 50% of women with endometriosis are infertile.

    Also, studies have also shown that endometriosis reduces fertility by normal conception and the success of IVF treatment.

    Skin irritation and bladder infection are common side effects of this procedure.

    More serious complications are rare. However, they include:

      damage to an abdominal blood vessel, the bladder, the bowel, the uterus, and other pelvic structures
      nerve damage
      allergic reactions
      adhesions
      blood clots
      problems with urinating

    Conditions that increase your risk of complications include:

      previous abdominal surgery
      obesity
      being very thin
      extreme endometriosis
      pelvic infection
      chronic bowel disease
