Patient's question:
Does endometriosis cause infertility? Every time I have my period, it's excruciatingly painful, but I don't want to have my uterus removed. Later, I heard from a sister about a uterine-preserving U-surgery. I didn't know much about it then, nor did I know how it worked, but there was no choice. After watching the explanation and seeing that it could preserve my uterus, I thought it was a good option. Now, I'm preparing to have the surgery.Doctor's answer:
Due to the recurrence of menstrual disorders in patients with endometriosis, such as prolonged menstrual cycles, continuously increasing menstrual flow, or extended menstrual periods, patients exhibit ovarian dysfunction, including anovulation or ovulation disorders, which directly lead to the recurrence of infertility. Factors such as pelvic masses, adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, poor follicular development, or ovulation disorders, caused by inflammation, can also result in the recurrence of infertility.
