Infections (such as pelvic inflammatory disease), internal scars from abdominal surgery, non-cancerous growths, and internal scars from radiation therapy can also cause frozen pelvis. [1] Genital tuberculosis is a relatively common cause of infertility in some countries, such as India, and can cause frozen pelvis.
[136] 55% to 100% of individuals develop adhesions following pelvic surgery, [148] which can result in infertility, chronic abdominal and pelvic pain, and difficult reoperative surgery. Trehan's temporary ovarian suspension, a technique in which the ovaries are suspended for a week after surgery, may be used to reduce the incidence of adhesions ...
A peritoneal inclusion cyst is a cyst-like structure that appears in the pelvis due to non neoplastic reactive mesothelial proliferation, often as a consequence of prior episodes of pelvic inflammation, as can occur in pelvic inflammatory disease.
Endometriosis is when a person has their uterine endometrial tissue that is growing somewhere besides its normal location, most commonly at the pelvic peritoneum. [33] This can also be regarded as "lesions outside of the uterus". [34] This condition has been described as "benign and estrogen dependent", therefore impacting those who produce ...
Several factors are thought to be involved in the development of enterocele, such as age, [10] multiple pregnancies, [10] previous pelvic surgery, [4] excessive pelvic floor descent, [10] weakened pelvic floor, [13] long term chronic straining, [13] Enteroceles can form after treatment for gynecological cancers.

Endometrioma is found in 17–44% patients with endometriosis. [2] More broadly, endometriosis is the presence of tissue similar to, but distinct from, endometrial tissue located outside the uterus. The presence of endometriosis can result in the formation of scar tissue, adhesions and an inflammatory reaction.
Endometriosis is estimated to occur in 7% to 10% of women, with an associated risk of infertility for between 30% and 50% of this population. [1] [2] [3] Endometriosis is commonly classified under the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine system from minimal endometriosis to severe endometriosis. The therapy and management of ...
