Endometriosis of fallopian tube - what does this mean

Endometriosis of the fallopian tube occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, grows outside the uterus and attaches to the fallopian tubes. this can cause inflammation and scarring of the tubes, leading to infertility, pain, and other complications.

What happens during the disease - endometriosis of fallopian tube

Endometriosis of the fallopian tube is caused by endometrial tissue growing outside of the uterus and attaching to the fallopian tube. this tissue continues to act as it would in the uterus, thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle. over time, the endometrial tissue can cause inflammation, scarring, and blockage of the fallopian tube, making it difficult or impossible for an egg to travel through the tube and be fertilized.
