Family, Internal Medicine, General Medical Questions - Hypoglycemia / Endometriosis


Expert: Glen F. Aukerman, <B>M.D.</B> - 8/26/2009

Question
If a woman has hypoglycemia as well as endometriosis are her eggs still viable or are they negatively affected by these conditions.  Could her eggs be harvested, fertilized and successfully implanted in a surrogate mother?

Answer
If a woman has hypoglycemia as well as endometriosis are her eggs still viable? Yes
or are they negatively affected by these conditions.  Yes, but viable
Could her eggs be harvested, fertilized and successfully implanted in a surrogate mother? Yes

Keep in mind that the metabolic environment will be transferred in the eggs so the child will be likely to have the same condition, better to clear the mother's condition with nutrigenomics so the egg and mom are both viable and normal
