This study demonstrates profound and often negative patient impacts of the advice from healthcare professionals to get pregnant to manage or treat endometriosis. Impacts ranged from planning for pregnancy, hastening the making of major life decisions, eroding trust with healthcare professionals, worsening mental health and straining relationships. Providing evidence-based information on the treatment and management of endometriosis is essential. Pregnancy or having a baby should not be suggested as a treatment for endometriosis and the provision of this advice by healthcare professionals can have negative impacts on those who receive it.
