Abstract

In this paper we consider the relation of pregnancy and endometriosis with the following conclusions:
1. Increased risk for premature deliveries and pregnancy complications,
2. More frequent pre-eclampsia and antepartum hemorrhage,
3. Increased rate of Caesarean sections,
4. Severe pain in pregnancy continues in quite a few patients,
5. Obstetricians should be aware of obstetric emergencies, such as direct bleeding from lesions, bleeding from uterine arteries or veins, interruption of ureter and severe peritoneal decidualized endometriosis.
