A recent study by the University of Queensland (UQ) revealed that women with undiagnosed endometriosis may face difficulties in conceiving without resorting to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The research found that women who discovered their endometriosis after starting fertility treatments had lower chances of success.
Late-diagnosed women are four times more likely to undergo multiple cycles of IVF, up to 36 cycles, and 33 percent less likely to achieve a birth.
Conversely, the women diagnosed with endometriosis before undergoing fertility treatment experienced outcomes comparable to those without the condition.
In Australia, approximately one in nine women are diagnosed with endometriosis, with 40 percent of them experiencing infertility.
The researchers emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and access to IVF for women with endometriosis.
