Endometriosis

“Endometriosis” is a chronic inflammatory medical condition that is estrogen dependent and primarily impacts the pelvic tissues, specifically the ovaries. It can also be found in the bowel, umbilicus, pleural cavity and diaphragm. It is caused when shed endometrial tissue moves backwards into the lower abdominal cavity. Endometriosis is the most common cause of infertility and chronic pelvic pain in women. This medical condition can be treated through a laparoscopy. Research suggests that “medical treatment is not recommended for women with endometriosis who are trying to conceive as it does not improve pregnancy rates and delays fertility”.
