Endometritis is an inflammatory inflammation of the endometrium of the uterus and cervix, characterized by catarrhal (mucous) and proliferative changes (as the process progresses, dystrophic and necrotic changes may appear).
Thus, you can often hear the term endocervicitis, but it is not correct to say so. There is no endocervicitis, there is endocervicosis - this is a disease of the endocervical canal, the walls of which (endocervix), i.e. their mucosa is a continuation of the mucous membrane of the uterine body. But if the body of the uterus (endometrium) is affected, its myometrium is called endomyometritis. This is a pathology of the endometrial body, submucolar (in the muscular layer of the uterus) that is located between the body and the cervix. If the cervix is involved in the process, then they talk about endocervilenitis.
Endometriosis is literally translated from Greek as internal growth. It appears where it simply shouldn't exist. The reasons for the development of the disease are unknown, but among the factors that can lead to it are hormonal imbalances, immune disorders, chronic viral infections, endocrine disorders, heredity, etc. One of the manifestations of the disease is endometrial hyperplasia. It occurs as a result of increased growth of glandular tissue on the inner surface of the uterus due to hormonal disorders, especially often with uterine fibroids or adenomyosis. Subsequently, severe pathology of the uterine cavity - adenocarcinoma - may occur. Adenomyosis or internal endometriosis of the uterine body leads to thickening of the endometrium, its growth outside the cavity and the formation of cysts. This is often combined with polycystic ovary syndrome. The reason for the development of appearance
