Pregnancy does not solve endometriosis. Yet it is a common advice
Have you ever been told that pain will lessen after having a baby? Because that was what I had been told when I was younger.
From the survey of patients with endometriosis, the researchers from University of Adelaide found that more than 56% (1892 out of 3347) have been told this. More than 89% of them said this advice came from healthcare professionals. I will link the study here: https://bmcwomenshealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12905-023-02794-2
This advice is harmful because there is no evidence at all that pregnancy will solve endo pain. Negative impacts ranged from planning for pregnancy, hastening the making of major life decisions, eroding trust with healthcare professionals, worsening mental health and straining relationships.
