Women with endometriosis can undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF). For older women or those with more severe symptoms, IVF may be considered. However, IVF has significant side effects and can impact the patient's body to some extent. Therefore, if possible, it is advisable to first treat the endometriosis and then attempt natural conception.
