Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition affecting millions of women of childbearing age. It occurs when the tissue lining the uterus (called the endometrium) grows outside the uterus. Endometrial tissue can be found anywhere in the body.
The ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic floor connective tissue are most commonly affected by endometriosis. Endometriosis can also affect other organs including the bowel, bladder, appendix, brain, and lung.
