| Abstract: | Endometriosis affects approximately 3% of women of reproductive age. The term endometriosis is applied to a condition where actively functioning endometrium is found in ectopic situations other than lining the uterine cavity, such as bladder, ovaries, intestines. This tissue responds to monthly cyclical hormonal changes and has no means of escaping the body when it has broken down. While normal endometrium is expelled as menstrual bleeding, ectopic endometrial tissue remains in the body causing inflammation, pelvic pain, abnormal menstruation and infertility. If left untreated, the condition becomes worse. |
