Endometriosis can be so painful and debilitating. Many of my friends have had it and had to undergo surgery and other painful procedures to keep it under control, so when I started to research whether endometriosis and cervical cancer I related, I fully expected to discover more bad news about it increasing cervical cancer risk. But, guess what?! I just found several websites and a study that say it actually lowers it.

Of course, the news is not all good. Endometriosis can increase your chance of other kinds of cancers, such as ovarian, apparently.
