📋Overview
This condition occurs when tissue resembling the uterine lining develops in areas such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the pelvic wall. This misplaced tissue reacts to hormonal signals, which may lead to inflammation and the formation of adhesions or scar tissue.
The presence of these growths is a recognized clinical factor in pelvic pain and can impact reproductive health. It is classified as a chronic disorder that requires medical assessment to identify the extent of the ectopic tissue.
