Blossom Fertility News Endometriosis Aecting Pregnancy - Infertility Can endometriosis make it hard to conceive?
What is endometriosis? The uterus is lined with a layer of tissue called the endometrium. Endometrial tissue normally grows only inside the uterus (womb), but sometimes it grows outside the uterus commonly in the reproductive organs (ovaries, fallopian tubes) or on the intestines, rectum or bladder. This condition is called endometriosis. During menstruation the uterine lining is expelled through the vagina, but blood from endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus has no place to go. As a result, monthly bleeding in this tissue leads to the growth of cysts, lesions and scar tissue and causes the surrounding area to thicken. Some women have little or no discomfort from endometriosis but others experience great pain before and/or during their menstrual cycle. The symptoms of endometriosis usually subside after menopause.
