"While endometriosis is thought to be involved in 30 percent of infertility cases, it is still not entirely clear how they are connected.
While it might be fair to assume that the development of adhesions and scarring can directly interfere with conception, infertility can result even in women where there is no obvious obstruction.
Known and Suspected Causes
- Tissue overgrowth around the ovaries may prevent an egg from entering the fallopian tubes.
- Endometrial overgrowth in the ovary may prevent ovulation from occurring.
- Endometriosis may form inside the fallopian tubes, preventing the egg and sperm from meeting.
- Research suggests that women with endometriosis have low levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone vital to maintaining pregnancy.
- Endometrial cysts produce chemicals and other substance that are strongly linked to a lower density of ovarian follicles from which mature eggs are released."
