Endometriosis

---

Pelvic endometriosis is a complex syndrome characterized by an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory process that
affects primarily pelvic tissues, including the ovaries. It is caused when shed endometrial tissue travels retrograde into the lower
abdominal cavity. Endometriosis is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women and is associated with infertility. The
underlying pathologic mechanisms in the intracavitary endometrium and extrauterine endometriotic tissue involve defectively
programmed endometrial mesenchymal progenitor/stem cells
