Is endometriosis serious?

The normal development of the uterus is closely related to fertility for women. Endometriosis is a disease that occurs in the uterus. Its occurrence not only affects women's normal life, but also causes greater physical harm in severe cases. Since current science does not know much about endometriosis, many women may not be able to recognize the harm of this disease.

Harm 1. The greatest harm of endometriosis is that it directly leads to female infertility. With endometriosis, the patient's endometrium is adhered, or a few patients' ovaries do not ovulate, which will endanger women's normal fertility. According to statistics, nowadays, female infertility due to endometriosis accounts for as much as 50% of all female infertility, and the incidence trend is still on the rise.

Harm 2: Female patients with endometriosis will show strong symptoms of dysmenorrhea, which can be so severe that they can faint, causing great trouble to their normal life and work.

Harm three: Most female patients with endometriosis will experience increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period during their menstrual period, which will affect their normal life.

Here, we would like to remind women that severe endometriosis may even lead to cancer. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, there are still a few cases where lesions occur. Endometriosis lesions may turn into cancer. About 10% to 15% of ovarian cancer patients are found to have coexisting endometriosis after surgery, and a transition zone from benign endometriosis tissue to completely malignant can be seen. Sometimes, when endometriosis spreads to non-ovarian sites, it can also cause cancer lesions there.

Endometriosis is a common disease among many women. However, when it is serious, it can lead to female infertility. Therefore, women should pay more attention to this in life. Once they are diagnosed with the disease, they should actively seek treatment. From the hazards mentioned in the above article, we can know that female friends should pay relevant attention in life. If the above situation occurs, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
