Endometriosis

The presence of tissue that looks and acts like the uterine lining in places other than the uterus. This tissue is often in the abdomen and responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Many women have no symptoms. However some experience considerable pain during menstruation and/or ovulation. Endometriosis is usually detected during a physical examination. Treatment includes pain medication, hormone therapy, and, in some cases, surgery.
