The thymus is a specialized organ of the immune system. It consists of primary lymphoid tissue, which provides a site for the generation and maturation of T lymphocytes, which are critical cells of the adaptive immune system. The thymus is of a pinkish-gray color, soft, and lobulated on its surfaces.
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus grows outside it. The main symptoms are pelvic pain and infertility. Nearly half of those affected have chronic pelvic pain, while in 70% pain occurs during menstruation. Pain during sex is also common.
Some women may experience no symptoms with endometriosis. Other women will experience symptoms that may or may not correlate with their menstrual periods. Symptoms may come and go, or occur at set times in a womanâs menstrual cycle. The symptoms may seem to worsen over time.
