Endometriosis
What is it?
Endometriosis is a disorder in women that can cause painful menstruation, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and possible infertility. The disorder may worsen over time, resulting in scarring to the ovaries and fallopian tubes and leading to decreased ability to get pregnant. In fact, 30% to 40% of patients with endometriosis are infertile. This is two to three times the rate of infertility in the general population.
