* endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the pelvic sidewall. each month, the tissue builds up, breaks down and sheds in response to the menstrual cyle just like the tissue of the uterine lining.
however, the blood and tissue shed from endometrial growths has no way of leaving the body like menstrual blood through the vagina. Hence, this will result in internal bleeding and inflammation, causing debilitating pain and infertility in some cases. There is no known permanent cure for endometriosis.
