Pelvic endometriosis affects pregnancy

Pelvic endometriosis may affect pregnancy.

Endometriosis usually refers to endometrial tissue growing outside the myometrium of the uterus. If ectopic endometrium grows in the fallopian tube mucosa, it may block the fallopian tube, causing the fertilized egg to fail to implant and develop normally. At that time, it may affect the chance of pregnancy.

For pelvic endometriosis, early treatment is mainly drug therapy, common drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, contraceptives, progesterone receptor antagonists, progesterone, etc. Radical surgery for pelvic endometriosis is required if conservative treatment fails.
