  1. Endometriosis & Infertility Endometriosis has been estimated to affect up to 10-15% of women at their reproductive age. According to Dr Beena Muktesh, MBBS, MS-Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Specialist, around 30-50% of women with endometriosis have infertility. Moreover, women with advanced endometriosis also have poor ovarian reserve, low eggs and embryo quality as well as poor implantation. A lot of women with endometriosis experience pain and heavy periods, however, they are not aware of the disease. The disease is often discovered in advanced stages that eventually lead to infertility. What is Endometriosis? Endometrium refers to the inner lining of your uterus. When you have a period, this inner lining falls away from the walls of your uterus and If you get pregnant, the embryo attaches itself to the endometrium for development. Endometriosis is a condition wherein the tissues like endometrium grow on other parts of your body. When these tissues start growing in the wrong places, it causes excruciating pain and makes conceiving difficult. The endometrial layer can grow on several parts of your body, such as:

  2. 1. Fallopian tubes. 2. Ovaries. 3. Vagina. 4. Back of your uterus. 5. Bladder and uterus. 6. Rectum. 7. Intestines.

Although the exact reason behind endometriosis is not yet known, it is supposed to be caused by genetics, reverse menstruation, and a family history of endometriosis. What are the Symptoms of Endometriosis? The common symptoms of endometriosis are as below: 1. Painful menstrual cramps radiating to the abdomen and lower back. 2. Pain during or after sexual intercourse. 3. Diarrhoea or constipation during the menstrual period. 4. Heavy or irregular periods. 5. Fatigue or low energy levels. 6. Pain during urination or bowel movements. 7. Spotting between menstrual periods. What are the Stages of Endometriosis?

Stage II: Mild endometriosis with less than 2 inches of the affected abdomen. 3. Stage III: Moderate endometriosis with scar tissues around tissues and ovaries. 4.
