Endometriosis

Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of endometrial cells outside the uterus. It is a complex and painful disease affecting women in their reproductive years. The name comes from the word “endometrium” which is the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus and is built up and sloughed off each month during the menstrual cycle. In endometriosis, such tissue is found outside the uterus and in these areas, the endometrial tissue develops into what are called growths, implants, nodules, lesions or tumors.

The most common locations of endometrial growths are in the abdomen involving the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, outer surface of the uterus, the bladder and the lining of the pelvic cavity. Sometimes the growths are also found on the intestines, in the rectum or the rectovaginal septum, the vagina, cervix or vulva. Endometrial growths have also been found outside the abdomen in lungs, arms, and thighs however, these locations are uncommon.

Endometrial growths are generally not malignant; they are a normal tissue growing outside the normal location. Like the lining of the uterus, endometrial growths respond to the hormones of the female reproductive system. They build up tissue each month, then break down and cause bleeding. However, unlike the lining of the uterus, the endometrial growths outside the uterus have no way of leaving the body. The result is internal bleeding, inflammation and scarring. The most serious consequence of this scarring is infertility. Other complications can include rupture of growths, which may spread these cells to other areas.
