Endometriosis is a complex, chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. These growths, often called lesions or implants, can develop on organs within the pelvis including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, bowel.
Some individuals may have mild symptoms, while others experience pain that significantly affects daily life. One important aspect of endometriosis is that symptom severity does not always match the extent of the disease.
