How does Endometriosis grow or
develop? Endometriosis may develop in some women
that are genetically prone to develop or grow the
endometrial cells in ectopic sites outside of the
uterus (runs in the families e.g., mother,
sisters). In others it may develop due to
retrograde flow of menstrual blood through the
fallopian tubes or due to an altered immune
environment in the pelvis.

How does endometriosis present or manifest? A
woman may be completely asymptomatic and the
condition may be diagnosed as an incidental
finding during either sterilization surgery or
during infertility assessment. Some women may
suffer from painful periods and others may suffer
from pain at the time of intercourse. Others may
also experience painful opening of bowels around
the time of the periods. It has been seen that
occasionally women may have a cyclical bleeding
(during menses) from the back passage (along with
stools) or from the bladder (while passing
urine).

Women with endometriosis in the operation scar
sites may find that the scar develops painful
nodules that grow during periods. It has been
shown that less than 10 of women would be
accurately diagnosed with the disease when they
first present to the doctor with symptoms.

Does Endometriosis cause infertility? Endometri
osis can cause anatomical distortion of the
pelvic organs due to scarring e.g chocolate cysts
in the ovaries, adhesions etc. Distortion in the
pelvis can impair the fertilization process. In
addition it can affect the egg release process.
Endometriosis is known to alter the immune
environment within the body which in turn affects
the fertilization process.
