Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, where it shouldn’t be. This tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, intestines, or other pelvic organs.
Each month, under the influence of hormones, this tissue thickens and bleeds, but the blood cannot drain. This condition causes significant pain, especially during menstruation or sexual intercourse. In addition, other problems can occur, such as irregular periods, digestive or urinary disorders, chronic fatigue, and sometimes infertility.
