Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb develop elsewhere in the body. These cells react in the same way as those inside the womb, building up and then breaking down. Unlike the cells in the womb, the blood has nowhere to go and this can cause inflammation, pain and scar tissue.
