Endometriosis of pelvic peritoneum - what does this mean

Endometriosis of the pelvic peritoneum occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, grows outside of the uterus and attaches to the pelvic peritoneum, which is the tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdomen. this can cause pain, inflammation, and scarring in the pelvic area.

What happens during the disease - endometriosis of pelvic peritoneum

Endometriosis is a condition in which cells from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grow outside of the uterus, most commonly in the pelvic peritoneum. this occurs when endometrial tissue is deposited in the pelvic cavity during menstruation and is unable to escape the body. this tissue then implants and grows in the pelvic peritoneum, leading to inflammation and pain. over time, scar tissue and adhesions can form, causing further pain and dysfunction.
