New research has found that endometriosis is linked to a four times higher risk of ovarian cancer, and deep infiltrating endometriosis is tied to a 10 times higher risk of this form of cancer.
Endometriosis can also impact a woman's fetus or neonate, increasing the risks for congenital malformations, preterm delivery and higher neonatal death rates. [46] Endometriosis can lead to ovarian cysts (endometriomas), adhesions, and damage to the fallopian tubes or ovaries, all of which can interfere with ovulation and fertilization.
Endometrioma can potentially lead to premature ovarian failure, decreased ovarian function, or problems with ovulation. [4] Studies have also found that endometriomas occur two times more frequently in the left ovary (67%) than in the right one (33%), possibly due to the presence of the sigmoid colon on the left side.
Later symptoms of ovarian cancer are due to the growing mass causing pain by pressing on other abdominopelvic organs or from metastases. [26] [30] [31] Because of the anatomic location of the ovaries deep in the pelvis, most masses are large and advanced at the time of diagnosis. [14] The growing mass may cause pain if ovarian torsion develops ...
The risk of type I ovarian cancer specifically was “especially high,” according to the study, at around 7.5-fold higher among women with endometriosis, and the risk of developing type II ...
