ENDOMETRIOSIS

ENDOMETRIOSIS

Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition that affects people with female reproductive systems. This condition occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, known as endometrial tissue, grows outside the uterus. During a typical menstrual cycle, this tissue thickens, breaks down, and is shed through menstruation. However, in individuals with endometriosis, the tissue growing outside the uterus behaves similarly but lacks an effective way to exit the body.
