Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition in which endometrium, or tissue resembling the lining of the uterus, grows outside the uterus, frequently resulting in pain, difficulty getting pregnant, and other symptoms. Ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the lining of the abdominal cavity are examples of pelvic organs that may develop these abnormal growths. During the menstrual cycle, the tissue reacts to hormonal changes by inflaming, scarring, and adhering, which can cause painful periods and pain during sex.

Millions worldwide suffer from endometriosis, though its exact cause is still unknown. Despite the lack of a cure, many treatments, such as pain relief, hormone therapies, and surgery, can help treat the symptoms and increase fertility in infertile couples. Early detection and individualized treatment methods are essential for reducing its effects.
