Patient's question:
My sister has been married for over ten years, but she never wants children. When I visit her house, I see that she clearly loves children, yet she always says that if she had children, she wouldn't be free. One day, I found her medical test results. They said she had endometriosis infertility. What is this disease?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis infertility is a gynecological disease caused by the growth of endometrium in any location outside the uterine cavity. It can occur in places such as the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments, the serosal layer of the posterior wall of the lower uterine segment, the rectouterine pouch, and the pelvic peritoneum of the sigmoid colon. It can also occur in the myometrium of the uterus, so clinically endometriosis is divided into extrinsic endometriosis and intrinsic endometriosis.
