Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue from the lining of the uterus moves through the fallopian tubes and attaches to the ovaries, pelvis, bladder, or other areas. Normally the lining of the uterus comes out every month when a woman has her period. With endometriosis, however, some of this tissue does not leave the body.
