Let’s begin.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Endometriosis?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When an unusual tissue similar to the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus, a patient has endometriosis. It commonly causes pain and discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, endometriosis involves the patient’s ovaries, but the tissue lining the pelvis and the fallopian tubes can also be involved. In some rare cases, this tissue can develop beyond the location of the pelvic organs.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this medical condition, the tissue does not only resemble the endometrial tissue in appearance but also in behavior. Namely, it can thicken, break down, and bleed every time a woman menstruates. However, this unusual tissue cannot “escape” the woman’s body, so it remains trapped. Endometriomas (cysts) might form when this condition involves a woman’s ovaries. In addition, the surrounding tissue may easily become irritated, resulting in adhesions and scar tissue. Often, this causes risks for the woman, as the organs and the pelvic tissues may adhere to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many cases, endometriosis causes serious pain, particularly during menstruation. Moreover, a woman can develop issues with fertility. If you or a loved one are concerned about endometriosis, consult a professional with years of expertise like <\/span>Dr. Konstantin Nikitin<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
