What to Expect from Laparoscopy for Endometriosis

In the United States, endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, but it can affect girls as young as 12 or 13. Despite how common it is, many people aren’t familiar with the condition. Endometriosis involves tissue that normally lines a woman’s uterus growing outside of it, where it should not be. This results in painful periods and can cause infertility among many other symptoms. When endometriosis goes untreated for a long time, some women need surgery to treat the condition, and laparoscopy for endometriosis is one option available to them. We’re going to explain what causes endometriosis and why it might require surgery—and what that surgery typically entails and why laparoscopy for endometriosis is a great choice for many patients

What Does Roe v Wade Mean For The Endometriosis Community?

Does Endometriosis Cause Infertility? Everything You Need to Know

Does Endometriosis Cause Infertility? You might wonder if you’ve read about endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of your womb grows outside it. This tissue can form anywhere in your pelvic area, and for some people, it grows on—or sometimes inside—other organs and structures in that region.

How To Find Out If You Have Endometriosis

Curious to learn how to find out if you have endometriosis? Endometriosis is a condition in which tissues similar to the lining of the uterus (womb) grow outside of the uterus. The tissue can attach itself to any organ in the pelvic area, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes and bowel. The tissue swells and bleeds during each menstrual cycle, just as the normal endometrial tissue inside your uterus does. However, unlike with your uterine lining, this displaced tissue has no way to escape your body when it breaks down. This leads to pain, inflammation and fertility problems for many women who have endometriosis.
