Explanation

Pelvic endometriosis is a medical condition that affects women. It happens when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the tissue lining the pelvis. This can cause pain, especially during menstrual periods, and can sometimes lead to fertility problems. It's a common condition, but can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to those of other conditions.
