Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This can cause pain, cramping, and bleeding during menstruation. It can also make it difficult to get pregnant.
Pregnancy with endometriosis can be more uncomfortable than pregnancy without the condition. The extra tissue growth can cause heavier bleeding and more pain during menstruation. Endometriosis can also make it harder to get pregnant because it can block or damage the fallopian tubes. If you do get pregnant, there is a higher risk of miscarrying.
If you have endometriosis and are trying to get pregnant, talk to your doctor about ways to increase your chances of conceiving. Treatment for endometriosis may also help relieve some of the symptoms during pregnancy.
