| Definitions |
[RADLEX Definition]: A condition in which functional endometrial tissue is present outside the uterus. It is often confined to the pelvis involving the ovary, the ligaments, cul-de-sac, and the uterovesical peritoneum. [MeSH] [NCI-GLOSS Definition]: A benign condition in which tissue that looks like endometrial tissue grows in abnormal places in the abdomen. [HPO Definition]: The growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. [HPO:probinson, pmid:25221341] [CSP Definition]: Condition in which tissue more or less perfectly resembling the uterine mucous membrane (the endometrium) and containing typical endometrial granular and stromal elements occurs aberrantly in various locations in the pelvic cavity. [MEDLINEPLUS Definition]: Endometriosis is a problem affecting a woman's uterus - the place where a baby grows when she's pregnant. Endometriosis is when the kind of tissue that normally lines the uterus grows somewhere else. It can grow on the ovaries, behind the uterus or on the bowels or bladder. Rarely, it grows in other parts of the body. This misplaced tissue can cause pain, infertility, and very heavy periods. The pain is usually in the abdomen, lower back or pelvic areas. Some women have no symptoms at all. Having trouble getting pregnant may be the first sign. The cause of endometriosis is not known. Pain medicines and hormones often help. Severe cases may need surgery. There are also treatments to improve fertility in women with endometriosis. [NCIt Definition]: The growth of functional endometrial tissue in anatomic sites outside the uterine body. It most often occurs in the pelvic organs. [MSH Definition]: A condition in which functional endometrial tissue is present outside the UTERUS. It is often confined to the PELVIS involving the OVARY, the ligaments, cul-de-sac, and the uterovesical peritoneum. |
