I have been diagnosed with endometriosis. does that mean i have to get surgery in order to conceive in the future?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Maybe not: Not all women with endometriosis require surgery to get pregnant. Endometriosis is however diagnosed with surgery, so do I understand you had a surgery already to make the diagnosis? I'm going to guess as well that 49 years is not your correct age? Best!
