Endometriosis is a condition that can affect the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic tissues. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, including on the ovaries, bowel, and other pelvic areas. It may be associated with reduced ovarian reserve, adhesions, and changes affecting the fallopian tubes.

Treatment options for endometriosis may include medication, laparoscopic surgery, or assisted reproductive treatments, depending on the severity of the condition and individual medical circumstances. For patients with Stage IV endometriosis, IVF may be considered based on fertility evaluation and clinical recommendations.
