Endometriosis: It is a disorder wherein the tissue that generally lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) starts growing outside. It is usually a painful disorder. It involves the ovaries, bowel or the tissue that lines the pelvis. In some cases, the endometrial tissue can extend outside of the pelvic region. In this disorder the endometrial tissue thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle just as it would normally do. The displaced gets trapped in the body as it has no way to exit. Endometriosis that involves the ovaries results in cysts, called endometriomas. Even the surrounding tissues get irritated and develop scar tissue and adhesions. This disorder can be extremely painful, especially during periods and may lead to fertility issues.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is a common hormonal disorder faced by women in their reproductive age. One of its symptoms is infertility. This condition is often overlooked as the symptoms of PCOS are generally unrelated. It causes irregular menstrual cycles, excessive body or facial hair, etc. Women suffering from PCOS produce slightly higher amounts of androgens, the male hormone, which contributes to some of the signs of the disorder. PCOS has no medical cure and the treatment targets mitigating its symptoms.
