Endo 101 - Endometriosis and Fertility

Welcome to episode 5 of Endo 101!
Endo 101 is a mini-series that seeks to inform and educate on the enigma that is Endometriosis. My purpose in this mini-series is to talk about all the aspects of endometriosis, right from proper definition to treatment methods and even myths that are pandered about the disease. I am so privileged to be joined today by Mr. Thomas Bainton, the Endometriosis Fellow and a senior registrar in obstetrics and gynecology at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, in London, UK.
Last episode we discussed the surgical treatments for Endometriosis, and why the gold-standard treatment for Endometriosis is excision surgery to remove the disease completely. We also understood the different surgical approaches based on the kind of Endometriosis, whether an endometrioma, peritoneal endo or even deep infiltrating bowel endometriosis. Today, we want to talk about Endometriosis and Infertility. Up to 40-50% of women with Endometriosis do suffer from infertility or subfertility. So let’s talk about this and understand better how and why this happens.
If you have any questions you are keen to get answers to or if you just enjoyed this episode and would like us to know, send an email to [e-mail] with your questions, or DM me on Instagram @notdefinedbyendo or the Instagram Page of Chelsea Centre for Minimal Invasive Gynaecology (CCMIG) @ccmig.london. There, Tom shares a lot of relevant and helpful information on Endometriosis.
