Symptom #5: Infertility
Women with endometriosis have a high risk of subfertility of up to 30 to 40 percent. One of the theories on how endometriosis is associated with infertility includes anatomical adhesions around the fallopian tubes or the ovaries that can interfere with the transport of ovarian eggs.
Moreover, endometriosis located in the peritoneum can also interfere with the motility of the fallopian tubes. Infertility in moderate to severe endometriosis can be managed through surgery. Options for achieving pregnancy include and intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization and superovulation.
