Endometriosis is a common disease in women, which causes special distress for many women. It not only affects normal life and work, but also seriously endangers the health of patients.
Can I still have children with endometriosis
About half of patients with endometriosis also suffer from infertility. With the increase of the incidence rate of this disease, endometriosis has become the main cause of infertility. Therefore, having endometriosis and the possibility of childbirth has become a pressing issue for most patients to understand.
Why does endometriosis cause infertility? It is still a mystery to this day. There are two main reasons for female infertility. The common one is tubal atresia, which blocks the channels for sperm and eggs, followed by endocrine disorders and lack of ovulation function. However, these two reasons cannot explain the infertility of patients with endometriosis. This type of patient generally has regular menstruation. After undergoing a fallopian tube examination with normal ovulation, many fallopian tubes are unobstructed. However, during surgery and laparoscopic examination, there is adhesion around the fallopian tubes, including the fimbriae end. Therefore, there is a tendency for infertility in endometriosis, and abnormal fallopian tube function caused by adhesion may also be due to endocrine or immune factors.
Hazards of endometriosis
1. Pain during sexual intercourse: affecting sexual activity. Ectopic endometrial nodules, rectal sunken nodules or adhesions, or ovarian adhesions at the top of the vaginal dome can cause pain during sexual intercourse.
2. Physiological pain: The clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive physiological pain, which can occur before and after menstruation.
3. Recurrent rectal stimulation symptoms: Recurrent rectal stimulation symptoms with sexual deterioration are rare compared to other gynecological diseases and are the most valuable symptom for diagnosing this disease. The rectum, anus, and external genitalia experience swelling, pain, internal urgency, and increased frequency of bowel movements. As the lesion gradually worsens, the symptoms become more pronounced, and later disappear.
4. Infertility: What are the hazards of endometriosis? The most important signs are posterior fixation of the uterus, posterior wall of the uterus, etc. Gynecological examination can touch the enlarged ovary, which is one of its main signs.
5. Menstrual disorders: Patients with endometriosis experience shortened menstrual cycles, increased menstrual volume, or prolonged menstruation, indicating ovarian dysfunction
