30-40% of women with endometriosis have difficulties getting pregnant. If you’re worried about this, discuss it with your doctor, and you can develop a treatment plan.

In theory, tubal ligation should protect against the further production of endometriosis. Researchers don’t agree on the subject, however.
45. What About Using Tampons?
Research shows that using tampons most likely has no effect on increasing the risk of endometriosis. Douching after the menstrual period also most likely has no effect on risks either.
46. What is a Chocolate Cyst?
As endometriosis starts growing in the ovarian tissue, debris starts collecting in the ovaries. Cysts are then formed that are filled with chocolate-colored liquid. These are commonly chocolate cysts, or endometrioma.

CA-125 is a membrane antigen. Brand new research shows that levels of CA-125 are elevated in women with endometriosis. It’s possible that in the near future, this simple test could be used to diagnose endometriosis.

51. What is Hematosalpinx?
Hematosalpinx Is the next step after hydrosalpinx. After the blood is blocked in the tubes, that blocked blood in the tube causes hematosalpinx. It can look a lot like a tubal pregnancy except that hematosalpinx it is a chronic condition.
