Other complications are rare. In a few cases endometriosis implants may cause obstructions of the gastrointestinal or urinary tracts. Calling Your Health Care Provider Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms of endometriosis occur, or if back pain or other symptoms recur after treatment of endometriosis. Screening for endometriosis should be considered if your mother or sister has been diagnosed with endometriosis, if you are unable to become pregnant after 1 year of attempting to conceive. There is no proven prevention for endometriosis, however, some women with endometriosis who successfully become pregnant find that they are free of the disease afterwards.
Pregnancy also tends to delay the onset and progression of the disease in susceptible women.
