If you look at the chances of pregnancy, women with endometriosis can still get pregnant even though it is difficult. It is said that the category of difficulty in getting pregnant is due to various reasons, including adhesions that block the fallopian tubes so that it is more difficult for her to get pregnant.

“There are patients with endometriosis, the cysts can get pregnant. During the operation, it turns out that endometriosis cysts can also burst. So, it doesn’t mean that people with endometriosis can’t get pregnant,” he said.
