Endometriosis is more common among infertile women than in the general population.However,treatments can be chosen on the basis of symptoms,extent of the disease,and the woman's desire to remain fertile.Menstrual cycle control with hormones is often a choice and would not leave the woman infertile.Endometriosis only rarely causes cancer.The woman would not have to take birth control pills for the rest of her life.
