Endometriosis is a common yet often misunderstood condition affecting women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterine cavity. These growths may appear on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, intestines, and other pelvic organs.
