Brief Answer:
conception might occur within 6 months after surgery
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,thanks for the information.I understand your concern.
In my opinion endometriosis is the presence of the inner lining of uterus at other sites besides uterus.This tissue bleeds during periods and it causes adhesions and scar tissue.
In laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis they are removed.
Usually 30-60% might conceive after surgery and conception might occur within 6 months of laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis.
But even in 50% of cases it might recur.
Usually any tissue might take 2-3 weeks for healing.
You can try intercourse after 2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis.
If no response for infertility after surgery IVF
might be the next option.
Dont worry.Try for natural pregnancy.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
