The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. Each month, the endometrium thickens and renews itself, preparing for pregnancy. If pregnancy doesnât occur, the endometrium sheds in a process known as menstruation. If conception takes place, the embryo implants into the endometrium.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue that is supposed to grow within the uterus instead grows within a different part of the body, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and even the outer surface of the uterus and the pelvic cavity.
