Endometriosis is a painful, chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterine cavity, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. This tissue behaves like the uterine lining, thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle, but it has no way to exit the body. The resulting inflammation and scar tissue can cause severe pain, especially during menstruation, and may lead to fertility problems. Treatment options include pain relief medications, hormonal therapies, and surgery to remove the excess tissue. Managing endometriosis effectively requires a comprehensive approach tailored to individual symptoms and severity.
