What is Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to severe pelvic pain and potential fertility issues. It can begin with a person's first menstrual period and persist until menopause. This abnormal tissue growth triggers inflammation and scar tissue formation, primarily in the pelvic area but occasionally elsewhere in the body.
The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown, and there is no known prevention or cure. However, symptoms can be managed with medications or, in some cases, surgery. The condition often causes chronic inflammation, which may lead to the development of scar tissue (adhesions and fibrosis) in the affected areas.
