Ovarian Reserve
Endometriosis and endometriotic cysts may affect ovarian reserve in some patients.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. This tissue may develop in areas such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel and other surrounding pelvic tissues. Although endometriosis is a benign, non-cancerous condition, it can invade and affect nearby organs and tissues. In some women, endometriosis may grow rapidly and spread extensively within the surrounding pelvic region, leading to inflammation, scarring and adhesions. The condition can vary significantly from one woman to another, and its symptoms and severity may also differ. Endometriosis can sometimes affect the normal functioning of the reproductive organs and may have an impact on fertility. Early evaluation and appropriate medical care can help manage the condition and address its possible effects on reproductive health.
