Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 individuals, and its impact on fertility is often misunderstood or overlooked. Today, Dr. Prati Sharma is here to raise awareness and share important insight.

“In the infertility population, endometriosis is actually much more common and often times it's very difficult to diagnose...”

⚠️ Endometriosis can affect egg quality, tubal function, and implantation—yet many people go undiagnosed for years.

Dr. Sharma reminds us that if you're experiencing infertility, pelvic pain, painful menses and intercourse, and even repetitive implantation failure, to speak to your fertility doctor.

💬 Have you faced challenges getting answers or support around endo and fertility? Share your story to help break the silence.
