Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus, leading to pain, inflammation, and potential complications with fertility.

How Endometriosis Affects Fertility
​
Endometriosis can significantly impact fertility by causing scarring, adhesions, and inflammation, which may obstruct the fallopian tubes and affect the quality of eggs. Women with endometriosis often experience challenges in conceiving, making support and treatment essential for their reproductive health.
