Last Update: 12/15/2025

Silvia Azaña, an embryologist at inviTRA, tells us in this video whether endometriosis improves with pregnancy:

Yes, that's right. Pregnancy offers a protective effect against the endometriosis. In a pregnancy, a woman's menstrual cycle stops completely. This change leads to slower growth of the endometriosis. Therefore, during pregnancy, the woman often feels relief from the symptoms and pain caused by endometriosis. However, everything restarts once the woman gives birth.
