World Health Organisation defines endometriosis as a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
Endometriosis in other instances can cause severe pain in the pelvis.
WHO says endometriosis can start at a person’s first menstrual period and last until menopause.
According to WHO, there is no known way to prevent endometriosis.
Enhanced awareness, followed by early diagnosis and management may slow or halt the natural progression of the disease and reduce the long-term burden of its symptoms.
