Endometriosis<\/h1>\n<\/div>

What is endometriosis?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Endometriosis is a common gynecological problem. Its name derives from the endometrium, the uterine cavity. In women with endometriosis, there is tissue that looks like and behaves like endometrium in areas outside the uterus. These lesions are called endometriosis nodules or implants of endometriosis or foci.<\/p>\n<\/div>

We can find lesions of endometriosis: Above or within the ovaries (endometrioma). Behind the uterus, on the ligaments that keep the uterus. On the peritoneum that binds the abdominal walls and organs and on the intestine, bladder or rectum.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Endometriosis can rarely develop in areas far away from the uterus. This ectopic tissue creates inflammation, pain, infertility and heavy menstruation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
