Comment - I had my appendix removed last year at the age of 48. The pathology report indicated that as well as appendicitis, I had serosal endosalpingiosis, which I take to mean that fallopian tube tissue was found on the appendix (since my tubes were still presumably in my body!) I have always had intermittent mild to severe pain in that area, and maybe it has always been endosalpingiosis, no one ever looked before. At this time, I do not have any evidence of endometriosis, and I have two children born at 38 and 40 without any medical intervention, in fact getting pregnant was easy. I also got pregnant again at 43, but miscarried, probably because of age and other factors. So endosalpingiosis does not automatically mean endometriosis and infertility, at least not in my case, and perhaps in yours. L
