Endometriosis Endometriosis is the medical name given when the uterine lining that would normally shed as part of a regular monthly menstrual cycle grows on the outside of the uterus instead of inside. This is a major cause of infertility in women. Endometriosis can cause very painful menstrual periods, as well as heavy bleeding and can be responsible for repeated miscarriages. Infertility Specialists recommend laparoscopic surgery to remove the endometrial lining and any abnormal tissue, however, there are plenty of alternative natural therapies available to remedy this problem. There are plenty of success stories from patients with endometriosis using traditional Chinese medicine, including traditional herbalism and acupuncture. Fallopian Tube Blockages Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes are thought to account for up to 40% of female infertility problems. Blocked tubes will prevent eggs reaching the uterus and prevent sperm from reaching the egg. In most cases, women have no idea their tubes might be blocked, as there are generally no obvious symptoms to look for. Blocked fallopian tubes are generally diagnosed by pelvic ultrasound, although a hysterosalpinogram may also be used, in which a dye is placed into the cervix before x-raying the pelvic region. There are two types of blocked tubes – partial blockage and Hydrosalpinx.
