What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in women caused by the implantation of endometrial cells in abnormal locations. Endometrial cells should grow in the uterine cavity, but because the uterine cavity is connected to the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tube, endometrial cells can enter the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tube and grow ectopically. There are many theories about the pathogenesis of this disease, among which the endometrial implantation theory is widely accepted. In addition, the occurrence of endometriosis is also related to the body's immune function, genetic factors, and environmental factors.

According to the characteristics of this disease, women of childbearing age who have progressively worsening dysmenorrhea or a history of infertility, and who may have an inactive mass or painful nodules in the pelvis during gynecological examination, can generally be preliminarily diagnosed with pelvic endometriosis.
