Endometriosis

It is a disorder that occurs when tissue similar to the lining of your uterus grows outside your uterus cavity. The endometrial-like tissue tends to grow over your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue around your pelvis. Eventually, due to hormonal changes this tissue tends to grow and thicken causing it to breakdown and become trapped in the pelvis. Endometriosis is painful and if not treated may lead to fertility issues.
