Endometriosis

Endometriosis

A type of disorder that commonly occurs in the pelvic area. Endometriosis concerns the ovaries and the tissues lining the uterus. The job of the lining inside the uterus is to clean the uterus every menstrual cycle; it breaks down and goes out of the body but when there is Endometriosis, this lining grows outside of the uterus and cannot perform its function. Because of this, there can be severe pain as the unusual growth of the lining irritates the surrounding tissues around the uterus and pelvic area. If left untreated, Endometriosis can cause problems with fertility and severe pain which often occurs at least once every menstrual cycle.
