About Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, which causes an inflammatory reaction, scar tissue, and can damage a women’s pelvic anatomy.1,2
Endometriosis can cause severe pain and infertility in 30-50% of women.2 IVF is a common, effective technique used to treat infertility due to many conditions, including Endometriosis. However, pregnancy rates in women who have infertility due to Endometriosis are low in comparison to infertility caused by other conditions.1,2
The purpose of the IVF in Endometriosis Study is to evaluate a study treatment to improve fertility in women that have Endometriosis who are undergoing IVF.
