Endometriosis is a chronic condition that occurs in women during their reproductive years.
In some rare cases, tissues have even been found in the lungs, brain, or legs. The cause of endometriosis is unknown. The endometrium responds to hormonal changes brought on by a woman's menstrual cycle. As a result, this tissue will collapse no matter where it's located, which can cause internal bleeding, cysts, scar tissue, and pelvic discomfort. Its symptoms can include cramping, backache, pelvic pressure, and pain during intercourse or urination.
