Introduction to endometriosis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Endometriosis is a condition that involves the tissue that lines the uterus. The typical woman will have tissue that lines the uterus and is flushed out with each menstrual cycle. Patients with endometriosis develop lining tissue in areas outside of the uterus. Tissue can grow on several organs including the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, the bladder and the intestines, just to name a few. When menstruation occurs, the tissue that formed over these organs can become irritated and can cause cysts, lesions, and scar tissue to form. Endometriosis can become disruptive to everyday life if left untreated. It has the potential to cause a variety of symptoms, including intense bouts of pain during menstrual cycles and even infertility in some cases<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
