Doctor's answer:

What are the hazards of endometriosis:
1. Recurrence of dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) and many urinary tract symptoms. Endometriosis patients experience these symptoms again because when there are endometrial implants in the vaginal vault, rectal cul-de-sac, or adhesions, or when the ovaries are adhesed to the pelvic floor, dyspareunia can occur. Bladder symptoms mainly include frequent urination, urinary urgency, and other adverse reactions.
2. Leading to female infertility, which is one of the major hazards for patients. Most endometriosis patients suffer from infertility, often due to inflammation causing pelvic masses, adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, poor follicular development, or ovulatory dysfunction. This disease also has a significant impact on the rectum, causing symptoms such as rectal, anal, and external genital swelling, pain, tenesmus (urgent need to defecate after defecation), and increased bowel movements.
