📋Overview
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) outside the uterus. This ectopic endometrial tissue responds to hormonal changes, causing inflammation, pain, and sometimes the formation of scar tissue. It is a well-recognized cause of pelvic pain and infertility.
