Endometriosis can occur in different locations, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, behind the uterus, in the uterine ligaments, in the pelvic cavity and, more rarely, in areas such as the bladder or lungs.
Depending on where the endometrial tissue develops, we distinguish:
Ovarian endometriosis
Tubal or fallopian tube endometriosis
Pelvic endometriosis
Rectal endometriosis
Intestinal endometriosis
Peritoneal endometriosis
