Yes, for many women, laparoscopic surgery to remove lesions and cysts (endometriomas) can restore pelvic anatomy and improve natural fertility. However, the degree of improvement depends on the stage of the disease.

While endometriosis can impact egg quality or ovarian reserve, IVF is often the most successful treatment for those struggling to conceive. Specialized protocols, such as down-regulation before the cycle, are often used to improve outcomes.
