What is endometriosis?
A condition where endometrial cells (cells that line the womb) grow in other places like the ovaries. This causes pain that is worst during menstruation, but symptoms can vary. The exact cause is unclear, but it can affect women of any age. There are several possible explanations, including the backward flow of menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, immune system disorders, or transformation of normal abdominal cells.
