The risk of a preg\u00adnan\u00adcy out\u00adside the uterus was three times as high as in women with\u00adout endometrio\u00adsis. The cause of these com\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adtions could be inflam\u00adma\u00adtion in the abdom\u00adi\u00adnal cav\u00adi\u00adty and changes in the uterus.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1814\" class=\"dl-img-right gb-media-4fab2cfc\" alt=\"Illustration of the uterus to explain diagnostics and treatment when trying to conceive.\" src=\"https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-scaled.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-1024x725.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-1536x1088.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_10266-2048x1451.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\" id=\"adenomyose\">What can women with ade\u00adno\u00admyosis who wish to have chil\u00addren do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ade\u00adno\u00admyosis is essen\u00adtial\u00adly endometrio\u00adsis in the uter\u00adine wall.
