Endometriosis Q&A | Part 1

Learn basics about this common cause of infertility

Approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age have endometriosis — yet many of them don’t know they have it until they have trouble getting pregnant. March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and Midwest Fertility Specialists is working to educate women on this common cause of infertility.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It can be very painful, and it can make it difficult for you to conceive. In fact, it is one of the most common reasons that patients seek the help of a fertility specialist.
