Endometriosis
I was diagnosed with endometriosis after my first miscarriage in 2017. After that, I haven't been able to conceive. I have 2 cysts on right ovary and one on left. I don't suffer from any pain. My periods are normal, no irregular or heavy flow. No spotting. I did all the tests one needs to do before surgery and all of them are normal. My fertility levels, hormone levels etc are all normal. The only deficiency that I have is mildly of Iron and vitamin D. I get myself a scan every 6 months and the size of cysts is more or less constant or it reduces in size. I Couldn't get surgery due to lockdown but I was wondering why I don't have any of the common symptoms associated with endometriosis. Do I still need surgery or can I opt for medication only. Or is there another problem that is invisible. I don't have any other types of cysts or fibroids either. Please enlighten me on the my situation.

Hi. The medications for treating endometriosis may interfere with conception, it is better to undergo a laparoscopy to evaluate the extent & severity of the condition. It will also help to evaluate the ovaries & tubes, the forward treatment will be guided better after that. All the best!

Surgery does decrease your ovarian reserve ... if u don’t have symptoms surgery has no role. It doesn’t improve fertility. Please consult for more detailed history and examination

If you have the endometriotic cyst, it can cause problem in conceiving. Endometriotic cysts should be aspirated or removed so that the chances of conception improve.
