“Endometriosis is derived from the word “endometrium,” which is the tissue that lines the uterus. Patients with endometriosis have endometrial-type tissue outside of the uterus.
Women with endometriosis are more likely to have infertility or difficulty getting pregnant
Symptoms of endometriosis may include: excessive menstrual cramps, abnormal or heavy menstrual flow and pain during intercourse.
Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, can be used to definitively diagnose and treat endometriosis.”
