Endometriosis and fallopian tube problems are the leading causes of infertility in women. In addition to fertility problems, these diseases also have a number of impacts on women's health.

1. Endometriosis and pregnancy

Most women with endometriosis are able to conceive normally. However, endometriosis can also cause infertility. If you've been diagnosed with endometriosis, your treatment will depend on its severity.
Endometriosis now has several treatment methods. The first method is surgical removal of the endometrial tissue mass, which frees up mechanical barriers to conception.
If surgery is not an option, the patient can use intrauterine insemination (IUI). Doctors can combine IUI with controlled ovarian stimulation, to increase the patient's ability to conceive.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is also a good option, it can increase the chances of conception, but results depend on each specific case.

2. Fallopian tube problems and pregnancy

Problems with the fallopian tubes also account for a significant proportion of infertility cases. Sometimes, the fallopian tubes can be blocked by scar tissue or an infection. Causes of blocked fallopian tubes:
Pelvic inflammatory disease. This disease can cause scarring or fluid retention in the fallopian tubes. Endometrial optimism . Endometrial tissue can build up in the fallopian tubes and cause a blockage. Endometrial tissue on the outside of other organs can also cause fibroids that block the fallopian tubes. Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause scarring and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. A previous ectopic pregnancy caused scarring in the fallopian tubes. Fibroids. These fibroids can block the fallopian tubes, especially where they attach to the uterus. Previous abdominal surgery, especially on the fallopian tubes, can lead to pelvic adhesions blocking the tubes. When an egg is released from one of the ovaries, it enters the fallopian tube. Normally, the egg fuses with the sperm in the fallopian tube and, if fertilization occurs, forms an embryo. The embryo will move and implant in the uterus.
If both fallopian tubes are completely blocked, then the woman will not be able to get pregnant naturally and must use assisted reproductive methods. If the fallopian tubes are partially blocked, the woman will still be able to get pregnant. pregnancy, but increases the risk of an ectopic pregnancy.

To determine if your fallopian tubes are blocked, some tests are done, such as laparoscopy or a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). In the HSG test, contrast material is injected into the uterus through a vaginal catheter. Then, X-rays are taken to determine the shape of the uterus and the condition of the 2 fallopian tubes. Another method of HSG uses saline and air instead of contrast and ultrasound instead of X-rays.
