Disclaimer: This is an opinion article for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Listeners should consult their healthcare providers before making any decisions about diagnosis or treatment.What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis happens when tissue like the lining of the womb (uterus) grows in places it does not belong — like ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of pelvis. Rarely it show up in places far from womb, like lungs or surgical scars.This tissue behaves like it would inside the womb — it reacts to monthly hormonal changes, swells, & bleeds during periods. But because it is trapped outside the womb, it can cause pain, swelling, and sometimes scar tissue.Why Does It Happen? Doctors are not sure why endometriosis develops. One theory is retrograde menstruation — where some menstrual blood flows backward into the pelvis instead of out of the body. These cells then stick to other tissues & grow. It mostly affects women who are having regular period
