What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows in other parts of the body and causes chronic inflammation that can cause scarring. It affects an estimated 5-10% of all women. It is most commonly found in the pelvic cavity and ovaries. Less commonly, these lesions may grow on the intestines and bladder, and rarely in the lungs or other body locations. Growths of endometriosis are almost always benign (not cancerous).

No one knows the exact cause. It is highly likely that certain genes play a role, but there are many other factors. Experts do agree the hormone estrogen promotes the growth of endometriosis and treatment often focuses on lowering estrogen levels.

The only way to diagnose endometriosis is with a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy to obtain a biopsy (sample of tissue). Laparoscopy allows surgeons to see the disease and take a biopsy that can be evaluated in a laboratory.
