Endometriosis is a common, chronic disease affecting roughly 10% (190 million) of reproductive-age women worldwide, where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation, severe pain, and infertility. It is not curable but treatable, often causing debilitating menstrual cramps, pain during intercourse, and chronic fatigue.
