A member asked:

Is a subsequent surgery to remove mild endometriosis helpful to restore fertility if it worked the first time?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Often does: Treating endometriosis surgically often results in improved fertility for 4 to 6 months, even when there is minimal endometriosis implants. Good luck.
