Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility. Understanding the pathophysiology of endometriosis involves exploring the mechanisms of ectopic tissue implantation, inflammation, and hormonal influences. Effective treatment options are essential for managing symptoms and improving quality of life for those affected by the condition. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the biological mechanisms underlying endometriosis, covering the causes and progression of the disease, diagnostic criteria, and clinical manifestations. It explores various treatment strategies, including hormonal therapies, surgical interventions, and emerging therapies aimed at reducing pain and restoring fertility.
