Patient's question:
My cousin often suffers from lower back pain and severe menstrual cramps. She never paid much attention to it until she couldn't get pregnant for over a year, when she finally decided to have a thorough check-up at the hospital. The doctor diagnosed her with endometriosis, a condition that causes her menstrual cramps and infertility.What kind of assistance is needed: Will endometriosis lead to infertility in patients?
Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis can cause infertility, chronic pelvic pain, chronic pelvic inflammation, and lead to conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes. When it occurs on the ovaries, it is called chocolate cysts, which can interfere with menopause. If it affects the fallopian tubes, it can cause blockage of the fallopian tubes. When it is in the pelvic area, it can lead to pelvic adhesions. If it occurs in the uterus, it can interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg. Therefore, endometriosis is a condition that interferes with pregnancy.
