Hi there! 35F From the moment I was 18, I registered to be an organ donor. 12 years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and have had more surgeries than I can remember to remove it/deal with the complications from surgeries.
I know there is SO much more to learn about this disease, but given how it can spread to other organs...if a microscopic lesion was on an organ and that organ was then donated, could endometriosis then grow on the recipient?
I feel like this is a dumb question but could this happen!?
