Stage I. This stage is usually a small cancer or tumor that has not grown deeply into nearby tissues. It also has not spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It is often called early-stage cancer.

Types and Stages of Endometriosis But again, the stage of the disease can make a difference: A study published in July 2017 in the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics found that women with stage 4 endometriosis have a significantly lower live birth rate after in vitro fertilization (IVF).

In conclusion, the present study shows that the natural conception rate was 41.9% during the first year after laparoscopic surgery in infertile women with endometriosis and no other factors. This information should be useful to infertile patients seeking treatment for endometriosis and the physicians counseling them.

No. Although they can occur together, endometriosis is when endometrial cells (the lining of the uterus) are in a location outside of the uterus. Adenomyosis is when these cells are within the uterus, in the uterine wall. Although both can cause pain, endometriosis does not typically cause heavy bleeding.

Stage III (stage 3 ovarian cancer): The cancer is in one or both ovaries, and the cancer has either spread beyond the pelvis to the lining of the abdomen or the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the back of the abdomen.

Endometriosis was the only pathologic finding in 19 women (82.6%). This study demonstrated that endometriosis is not a chance finding in women who have undergone tubal sterilization.

With endometriosis: The pain is chronic. It happens repeatedly prior to and during your menstrual period —sometimes during other times of the month — for more than six months .

In many cases, endometriosis can also cause excessive menstrual bleeding. People with endometriosis experience menstrual pain when the tissue meant to line the uterus becomes trapped outside of it, sticking to the ovaries and resulting in cysts called endometriomas.

Increasing age, alcohol use, early menarche, family history of endometriosis, infertility, intercourse during menses, low body weight, prolonged menstrual flow, and short cycle interval are also alleged risk factors. Endometriosis has been negatively associated with exercise and smoking.
