How does Clomid affect endometriosis?

Answer by  Rukmini (29)

Clomid stimulates the release of hormones necessary for ovulation to occur and is mainly used for treating female infertility. Do not take Clomid without first talking to your doctor if you have endometriosis as you may require a lower dose or special monitoring if you have these conditions.

clomid increases oestrogen which stimulates endometriosis to grow and become worse.Clomid may be used with care to aid fertility in women with mild endometriosis but will only be given for a limited time and with full informed consent that the endometriosis may worsen and serious complications could occur.Clomid will certainly not help relieve symptoms of endometriosis.

This drug stimulates the release of hormones for ovulation, so this is for women trying to have children. If you have endometriosis, you may need a lower dose and special monitoring of the condition because this drug could make the symptoms worse. It increases the hormone levels which could aggrevate the endometriosis.

Clomid is for women having trouble conceiving. This could be a off label use though. If you are done having children then try Ablation. It will stop 90% of your symptoms
