Endometriosis is a disease that affects women, usually between the age of 25 and 40. It is one of the leading causes of infertility in women. It is characterized by the growth of uterine tissue outside the endometrium, which can cause various health issues.
When Does Endometriosis Occur?
Endometriosis typically never appears before puberty and usually ends at the time of menopause due to the absence of ovarian hormones.
Incidence of Endometriosis
The incidence of endometriosis is higher in infertile women, between 25-40%, while in the general population, it affects approximately 3-10% of women.
Types of Endometriosis
Endometriosis can be categorized into two types based on the location of the uterine tissue growth.
Internal Endometriosis (Adenomyosis)
When the uterine tissue grows inside the myometrium (the muscle layer of the uterus), it is referred to as Adenomyosis or Internal Endometriosis.

When the uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, it is known as External Endometriosis. This tissue can be found in various parts of the body, such as the ovaries, peritoneum, rectum, intestine, vagina, vulva, bladder, liver, and more
