Endometriosis affects approximately 48 percent of infertile women, and 5 percent of fertile women. Endometriosis is usually a condition that affects women during their reproductive years. It rarely occurs in postmenopausal women. Endometriosis can affect any woman, regardless of race, gender, pregnancy, and history of childbearing.

What is Endometriosis?

Every month, your ovaries release hormones estrogen (and progesterone) which makes the endometrium thicker and more ready to produce an egg. The fertilized egg attaches itself to the endometrium, and it begins to grow. 

The hormone levels decrease if you don't get pregnant and the endometrium is destroyed. During your period, your body will shed the tissue.

Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial tissue grows in different parts of the body. The pelvis or lower abdomen is the most common location. These include the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and ligaments supporting the uterus. 

They also cover the outer surface of your intestines and the lining of your pelvic cavity. Endometriosis may be called different names by health care professionals, including implants, lesions, or nodules. 

Adenomyosis is the term for endometrial tissue that grows within the uterine muscle walls. Endometrial tissue that grows outside of its normal location is usually not malignant or carcinogenic.
