Endometriosis is a painful condition where there are cells similar to the lining of the uterus that are growing outside of the uterus. Most commonly, it occurs in the pelvis, but it can really occur anywhere in the abdomen or pelvis.

Dr. Megan Wasson, a Mayo Clinic medical and surgical gynecologist, says it’s a quality-of-life issue, affecting approximately 1 out of every 10 reproductive-aged individuals.
