Does having endometriosis increase the risk of complications during pregnancy?
Endometriosis, affecting 10%-15% of women of reproductive age, often causes pelvic pain and infertility. While many women with the condition can achieve successful pregnancies, the risks of miscarriage, preeclampsia, placenta previa, and caesarean sections are elevated. Management includes a healthy lifestyle and medical treatment, and close healthcare provider collaboration for a safe pregnancy.
