Endometriosis and Infertility: What You Need to Know
Endometriosis is a painful condition that affects many women, and I recently discovered that it can also lead to infertility. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and scar tissue. This can make it difficult for an egg to be released or for sperm to reach the egg, resulting in fertility issues. It's important for women experiencing symptoms like painful periods, heavy bleeding, and chronic pelvic pain to consult with their healthcare provider. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
