Endometriosis is a female medical condition, in which body tissue very similar to the lining of the uterus is found in other areas of the body. Sometimes this tissue can develop on the outside of the uterus, but it’s not uncommon for it to develop in other areas too such as on the ovaries, or fallopian tubes. Sometimes this uterus lining type tissue will even develop on old surgical scars, the appendix, colon, bladder, intestines, and rectum.
