Endometriosis Genital External

The endometrium is the mucous membrane of the uterine cavity, which undergoes cyclic changes and shedding during menstruation.

“External genital endometriosis” is a pathology that is manifested by the proliferation of endometrial cells outside the reproductive organ in the pelvic area. This condition may be called adenomyosis because the endometrium is mostly made up of muscle tissue.

The disease affects up to 20% of the fair sex. In addition, damage to the cervix, peri-uterine tissue, perineural structures and other elements is most often noted.

The cause may be previous curettage of the mucous membrane from the uterine cavity, removal of the uterus or ovaries. Infectious diseases also have a negative impact on a woman’s health, creating favorable conditions for the development of the disease. The occurrence of the disease is facilitated by hypothermia, excessive physical activity, and hormonal imbalance. In medical literature
