Does it cause infertility? Can it cause irregular periods...?

Answer 1

Endometriosis is where some of the lining of the uterus grows outside into the abdominal cavity and it causes pain see this site

Answer 2

I had an aunt and a sister with that condition. Endomitriosis (I believe) is where tumors grow inside the uterus. The tumors get so big that they have to be surgically removed. Both my aunt and my sister were never able to have children because of this condition. My sister had a hysterectomy because of endometriosis. I'm not sure if my aunt had one, though....Hope this helps.

Answer 3

the endometrium is the lining of your uterus and it grows out of control and sheds so you have flesh in your menstrual blood, and it will cause you to bleed more and more, i bled constantly for three years before i was diagnosed and by that time it had turned into cervical cancer as well, so i had to have a hysterectomy, yes it can cause you to be infertile, get it treated as soon as possible before you are in the condition i was.

Answer 4

Yes, it can cause infertility. Endometriosis is one of the most common causes of pelvic pain and infertility in women.
