What are the dangers of endometriosis?

In daily life, many women do not know the role of the uterus and do not understand gynecological knowledge, which directly leads to many women suffering from endometriosis, causing great harm. Experts say that the uterus is an important organ for women to nurture the fetus. Therefore, patients with endometriosis should pay attention to it. Below, learn about the hazards of endometriosis:

1. Pain during sexual intercourse: The ectopic endometrium causes the surrounding tissues to swell, and during sexual intercourse, the movement of the penis causes pain, which is more obvious in the early stages of menstruation.

2. Pain: Pain is one of the most common symptoms, with the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region being the most obvious. It often starts 1-2 days before menstruation, is most severe on the first day of menstruation, and gradually eases. However, as the disease progresses, the abdominal pain during menstruation will become more obvious.

3. Menstrual disorders: Invaded by ectopic endometrium, the ovarian parenchyma tissue is destroyed, which affects hormone metabolism, resulting in menstrual disorders and increased vaginal bleeding during menstruation. In some cases, premenstrual spotting may also occur.

4. Ectopic pregnancy: Experts say that ectopic endometrium can cause pelvic adhesions and fallopian tube obstruction. The fertilized egg can only implant and develop locally, increasing the probability of ectopic pregnancy.

5. Infertility: Infertility accounts for 40%-50% of endometriosis. Endometriosis can cause pelvic adhesions, hard and even obstructed fallopian tubes, abnormal hormone metabolism and immune function, leading to the retrograde movement of the fertilized egg and the endometrium being out of sync, or the retrograde movement of the fertilized egg itself being blocked, resulting in infertility.

Warm reminder: In summary, endometriosis has many hazards. If it is not treated properly, it will directly lead to infertility in women, which will not only harm the patient herself, but also have a certain impact on the entire family. Female friends should seek medical attention in time if they have irregular menstruation or pain during sexual intercourse.
