Endometriosis is a condition where tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus, begins to grow outside of it, causing various discomforts. This misplaced tissue can grow on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the peritoneum, or even in less common areas like the intestines and lungs. As the tissue behaves like the lining of the uterus, it can result in inflammation and pain, especially during the menstrual cycle. In some cases, it can also lead to fertility issues due to scarring or blockages. If you're experiencing symptoms of endometriosis, consulting with a professional like Dr. Swati Rai can help you find the right treatment plan. Schedule your appointment today!
