Hello Dear,
In endometriosis, the tissue that normally lines the inside of uterus the endometrium becomes implanted
outside the uterus, most commonly on fallopian tubes, ovaries and causes thickening.It might cause painful
periods,pelvic pain,exessisve bleeding,infertility.
Pain medications and Birth control pills are given in the treatment as they help control the hormones
responsible for the buildup of endometrial tissue each month. These pills reduce the pain of endometriosis.
