4. Infertility
Infertility is a very common symptom associated with endometriosis, especially if the condition is left untreated for a long time. It’s estimated that as much as twenty to thirty percent of women with infertility might have been diagnosed with endometriosis at some point during their lifetime – and if you suspect the symptoms of endometriosis at any point, it’s important that you make an appointment with your doctor sooner rather than later.
If you can match up any of the symptoms on this list with difficulty conceiving, then there’s a very high chance that endometriosis could be the underlying cause. If this is the case, many people diagnosed with endometriosis have successfully conceived after treatment – and there’s absolutely no reason why you should put off your doctor’s appointment.
Infertility can even sometimes be avoided as a symptom completely if endometriosis can be spotted early enough – and treatment is started at the right time.
