Endometriosis: A hormonal and immune disease. The "endometrium" lines the inside of the uterus and is what sheds during each "period." In a woman with "endo," tissue like the endometrium is found ouside the uterus in other parts of the body. This stuff reacts to a woman's cycle and can hurt like heck. |
