Yes. The most common and prominent consequence of endometriosis is female infertility.

However, fertility problems are not the only consequence of this uterine pathology. Women with endometriosis may also present with chronic and prolonged pelvic pain, with the appearance of large cysts in the pelvis.

Other possible, though much less frequent, consequences of endometriosis are obstruction of the gastrointestinal or urinary tract, as well as cancer in the areas of endometriosis after menopause.
