Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases, affecting around 10% of women worldwide.
A woman’s uterus is lined with tissue called the endometrium. In endometriosis, this tissue grows in other parts of the body, such as the ovaries, bladder or bowels.
Symptoms of endometriosis include:
- Severe pain in the stomach and pelvic areas
- Heavy or painful periods
- Infertility
- Pain during or after sex
