Can someone with endometriosis get pregnant ?
100%. If you have endometriosis, you can still have children. Patients who are already having difficulty getting pregnant are individuals we refer to as having infertility. The majority of people with endometriosis, or those who have that diagnosis, are, nonetheless, able to become pregnant without any issues at all.
Is a hysterectomy necessary if one has endometriosis ?
Possibly not. Endometriosis consists of uterine lining-like cells that are developing outside of the uterus. Therefore, the uterus is not at all the problem, despite what hysterectomy is used to cure. In contrast, adenomyosis, a sister condition to endometriosis, affects 80–90% of patients concurrently, and in this case, the uterus itself may be a source of issues, including discomfort. So in such cases hysterectomy might become an option.
