In this episode, Renato explores endometriosis and adenomyosis, explaining what these conditions are, why they often go undiagnosed for years despite affecting millions of women worldwide, and how advances in MRI and specialized ultrasound are transforming diagnosis beyond traditional surgical laparoscopy. He discusses the decision-making process behind hormonal therapy versus surgery, how treatment strategies change when fertility preservation is a priority, and where IVF fits into the care pathway for women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, or age-related fertility decline. Renato also examines the profound effects of female age on egg quality and quantity, including the accelerating rise in chromosomal abnormalities after age 35, highlights common mistakes in both surgical and fertility management, and shares promising developments on the horizon for treating these conditions and preserving fertility.
