Does endometriosis get better with pregnancy?

Pregnancy does indeed have a protective effect on endometriosis. This is due to the halt of the woman's menstrual cycle and the decrease of oestrogen, hormones involved in the growth of endometriomas. Therefore, during pregnancy, the woman feels relief from symptoms and pain. Unfortunately, this all resumes once the woman has given birth.
