Endometriosis causes fertility and conception issues because of the damage or blockage of the flimsy Fallopian tubes. Laser treatment or microsurgery may help to recover a woman's fertility, although there is documented evidence in the United States, which implies that doctors are not fully confident in the success of laser surgery to renew fertility. If the endometriosis has caused irreversible damage, IVF treatment or tubal surgery can be employed to assist with fertility and conception.

The side effects of these drugs can, for many women, be more affecting than the initial affects of endometriosis. It is vitally important that you talk to your medical practioner if you are trying to get pregnant, because the drugs that are used to treat endometriosis can affect conception and pregnancy.
