Does endometriosis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Endometriosis; Left lower abdominal pain during menstruation, unable to train, what to do, will it cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease caused by the growth of endometrium outside the uterine cavity. It can occur in various locations such as the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments, the posterior serosal layer of the lower uterine segment, the rectouterine pouch, and the pelvic peritoneum of the sigmoid colon. Since it can recur within the uterine muscle layer, clinical diagnosis classifies endometriosis into extrinsic endometriosis and intrinsic endometriosis. Patients often present with infertility, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic pain for follow-up visits.
