Endometriosis
A
nonmalignant disorder in which functioning endometrial
tissue is present outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis
is usually confined to the peritoneal or serosal surfaces
of abdominal organs, commonly the ovaries, posterior broad
ligament, posterior cul-de-sac, and uterosacral ligaments.
Less common sites include the serosal surfaces of the small
and large bowel, ureters, bladder, vagina, surgical scars,
pleura, and pericardium. It can be asymptomatic, but common
symptoms include painful heavy periods, pelvic pain, painful
intercourse and subfertility. |
