How can endometriosis lead to infertility?
When the uterine tissue implants and grows outside of the uterus this is known as endometriosis — this condition often affects the function of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes. The implanted tissue reacts to the hormonal cycle and grows, sheds and bleeds in coordination with the lining of the uterus each month. Due to this scarring and inflammation may occur. Women with endometriosis frequently experience pelvic pain and infertility.
