Often, endometriosis is first diagnosed when a woman seeks treatment for infertility. An estimated one-third to one-half of all women with endometriosis have difficulty conceiving. Endometriosis lesions, also called implants, can be found anywhere in the pelvic cavity such as on the ovaries and fallopian tubes. These lesions can obstruct the fallopian tubes, thus preventing sperm from reaching the egg. For pregnancy to occur, a released egg travels through the fallopian tube, is fertilized by a sperm cell, and attaches itself to the uterine wall to begin development.
