What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a systemic, inflammatory disease that can cause extreme pain within the pelvis.

Pain can be caused by a few factors, including:

1. Endometriosis can directly invade nerves
2. Endometriosis can cause pelvic floor spasms
3. The presence of endometriosis can stimulate the inflammatory cascade which can lead to peripheral nerve neurogenic inflammation and pain, as well as contribute to the process of central sensitization.
