Does endometriosis always cause infertility?

No—endometriosis does not always cause infertility, and many people with endometriosis conceive without assistance. That said, endometriosis can make it harder to get pregnant for some patients, especially when inflammation or scarring affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic anatomy.

Fertility impact varies widely and doesn’t always match pain severity, which is why individualized evaluation matters. Our team can help clarify how your symptoms, imaging, and reproductive goals fit together, and discuss options that may include optimizing fertility timing or considering surgical treatment to address endometriosis when appropriate. If you’re trying to conceive (now or in the future), reach out to schedule a consultation so we can map out a plan tailored to you.
