Does endometriosis affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My cousin has been experiencing lower abdominal pain during her menstrual period in recent years. The pain starts on the first or second day of her period and becomes increasingly severe. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was diagnosed with endometriosis. My cousin recently got divorced, and she is wondering if endometriosis will interfere with her ability to conceive.

Doctor's answer:

Thank you very much for your trust. Endometriosis refers to a common gynecological disease in women, where active endometrial cells are planted in places other than the endometrium. Endometriosis can easily lead to pelvic inflammation changes, thereby interfering with the function of fallopian tubes, resulting in infertility. It is recommended that women who have not breastfed and have not been pregnant for more than 1 year undergo related infertility examinations. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
