A clear link between infertility and endometriosis is not very explicit, but endometriosis can impact fertility.

What is Endometriosis?: Symptoms of Endometriosis
The fragments of the endometrium or the uterine lining migrate out of the uterus and embed in to other abdominal issues like uterine ligaments, ovaries or the peritoneum. Every month, estrogen makes the endometium thicken; accordingly, these migrated and embedded cells also expand. The uterine lining sloughs off as the menstrual period; however, these cells have no where to release the amassed blood, thus, causing cyst formation, adhesions or scarring.

Endometriosis is seen as:
  • Severe menstrual cramps that reach their peak on the 2nd or 3rd day of the period.
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding, with clots
  • Nausea and vomiting just before the period.
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Diarrhea or constipation; pain while passing motion.
  • Blood in stool or urine during period
  • Infertility
 Endometriosis Natural Treatment: Supplements   
  • Vitamin E: Vitamin E promotes healing of the tissues that are damaged by the cysts. It also prevents excessive scarring and balances the hormone production within the body. 500 I.U. everyday is the recommended dose.
  • Vitamin C: vitamin C too encourages rapid healing. Doctors advocate 1000mg daily.
  • Calcium and magnesium: calcium and magnesium fight painful cramps effectively. Take the supplements daily, 500 mg of calcium and 500 mg of magnesium; however, during the period, step up the dose to 2 times.
