Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain

Endometriosis is a complex, often debilitating gynecological condition that affects an estimated 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue—similar to the lining of the uterus—outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic peritoneum, and, in severe cases, even the bladder, intestines, or diaphragm. One of the hallmark symptoms of endometriosis is chronic pelvic pain, which may present as severe menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), pain during bowel movements or urination, and persistent pelvic discomfort that significantly impacts quality of life. Despite its prevalence, endometriosis remains underdiagnosed and poorly understood, often leading to years of misdiagnosis, stigmatization, and inadequate care for affected individuals. The exact cause of endometriosis is still not fully known, but several theories have been proposed. These include retrograde menstruation (where menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity), immune dysfunction, coelomic metaplasia, and genetic predisposition.
