Can endometriosis cause a low hct level?

Endometriosis itself does not directly cause low hematocrit (Hct) levels, but it can lead to conditions that may result in anemia, such as heavy menstrual bleeding or internal bleeding from endometriotic lesions. Anemia from these sources can subsequently lower Hct levels. Therefore, while endometriosis is not a direct cause, its complications can contribute to decreased Hct. If someone with endometriosis experiences low Hct, it is important to investigate the underlying causes.
