Understanding Endometriosis: Definition and Impact
Endometriosis is present when tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus (womb) occurs outside this layer and in other parts of the body causing pain and/or infertility.
What is the Endometrium and its Layers?
The lining layer is called the endometrium and this is the layer of tissue that is shed each month with menstruation (period) or where a pregnancy settles and grows.
This layer consists of two sublayers:
- A base layer that is always present, this is where the new tissue regenerates following a period.
- A surface layer that is shed with each period.
