Endometriosis is a common condition where small pieces of the womb lining (the endometrium) are found in different areas of the body, such as in the ovaries or in the bladder. The cause of endometriosis is still unknown and even after a century of intensive research it is still difficult to diagnose. The aim of this study is to collected routine medical data in order to find out if there is a link between NUB and the development of endometriosis in adulthood and if endometriosis is inherited. Who can participate? All female patients seeking advice for an infertility problem at a participating centre. What does the study involve? After agreeing to take part, participants complete a number of questionnaires in order to collect information about their health and personal information. The results of these questionnaires are then cross-checked with medical records which are reviewed to find out if there is a link between NUB and endometriosis formation in adulthood, as well as to see if endometriosis is inherited.
