<aside> 💡
Endometriosis is where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body.
</aside>
It is often found in areas around the womb, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes and lining of the pelvis.
It also sometimes affects organs, such as the bladder and bowel. Sometimes, endometriosis is found in areas outside the pelvis, such as in the chest.
Symptoms happen when patches of endometriosis break down and bleed but cannot leave your body.
