You might be a female and you might not have heard of endometriosis. This is because it affects about 11% of females, so chances are high that your uterus is intact!
Endometriosis often takes place in the pelvic region or one of its surrounding spaces like the bladder, vagina, rectum etcetera. It’s an estrogen-dependent inflammatory condition where uterine tissue forms elsewhere in their body instead – mainly somewhere inside the pelvic area near to ovaries and fallopian tubes but can grow anywhere from outside areas such as skin cells related to menstruation (aka “period”), bowel lining tissues during pregnancy/labor (constipation), lymph nodes associated with cancerous growths… The word ‘endo’ means ‘inside’.
The worst thing about having endometriosis is the pain. You’re constantly in agony, making it difficult to live a normal life and do your everyday activities like going to work or school. The inflammation caused by extra tissue also impacts fertility since estrogens have been linked with infertility as well as digestive problems due to an inability for people who suffer from this condition’s estrogen receptors are all over their tissues which can lead them not being able to properly digest food at times because of how much they produce hormones that could cause different reactions on digestion
