What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, most commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the lining of the pelvis. Unlike the tissue inside the uterus, this misplaced tissue has no way to leave the body during menstruation, which can lead to inflammation, severe pelvic pain, painful periods, scar tissue, cysts, and, in some cases, fertility problems. Experts claim that the condition affects around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, while there is currently no permanent cure for endometriosis, treatments such as pain medication, hormone therapy, and surgery can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that laparoscopic surgery is considered the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis and removing endometriosis tissue when necessary.
