Patient's question:
Because I was preparing for pregnancy, I had a pre-pregnancy check-up, and the results said I have endometriosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Ectopic endometrium, like menstruation, undergoes periodic shedding. However, since the blood cannot flow out, it stimulates the pelvic peritoneum, leading to adhesion formation, which may compress the fallopian tubes or cause intestinal obstruction. Alternatively, it may cause the serosa of the fallopian tubes to adhere and twist completely, thereby affecting the function of egg uptake. Or, due to adhesion and retroverted uterus fixation, sperm may find it difficult to enter the cervix. Or, due to adhesion surrounding the ovaries, eggs may not be released. All of these can lead to infertility. The treatment plan should be determined based on the location and severity of your endometrial ectopia. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for a thorough examination and early treatment to avoid missing the optimal treatment window.
