Genital endometriosis is the process in which the inner (mucous) layer of the uterus spreads beyond its cavity.
A newly formed fragment of the mucosa,
consisting of its cells,
is called an endometrioid lesion.
In this case,
if the lesions start to grow within the body of the uterus,
endometriosis is considered internal,
while if they are found on the ovaries,
cervix,
in the vagina, or fallopian tubes,
it is considered external.
The main problem faced by women suffering from genital endometriosis is pain.
She may experience it constantly, with significant intensification before and during menstruation.
Most often, the pain affects the lower abdomen,
the lumbar region, and the coccyx,
but it can spread along the nerve fibers to the upper part of the lower extremities and buttocks.
In more than a third of patients, the pain occurs or significantly intensifies during sexual intercourse.
And when pathological foci develop in the area of the uterosacral ligaments,
the pain increases when sitting,
during bowel movements,
and mainly spreads to the perineum, vagina, and anal area.
In the later stages, pain can cause decreased work capacity, reduce the quality of life for the patient, and provoke the development of depression.
The second issue that women with endometriosis face is the absence of pregnancies (infertility) or habitual miscarriages, that is, recurrent spontaneous pregnancy loss. The cause of infertility may be the damage to:
• ovaries,
когда киста препятствует процессу созревания фолликулов и формирования яйцеклетки; • маточных труб – киста перекрывает их просвет и провоцирует развитие воспаления,
при котором стенки трубы становятся отечными,
перистальтика их нарушается,
и яйцеклетка не достигает полости матки.
При распространении очагов на тело матки беременность наступает,
но часто заканчивается самопроизвольным прерыванием.
В некоторых случаях расстройство репродуктивной функции и эндометриоз развиваются параллельно друг с другом,

when a cyst obstructs the process of follicle maturation and egg formation; • fallopian tubes – a cyst blocks their lumen and triggers inflammation,
where the tube walls become swollen,
their peristalsis is disrupted,
and the egg does not reach the uterine cavity.
When the lesions spread to the body of the uterus, pregnancy occurs,
but often ends in spontaneous miscarriage.
In some cases, reproductive dysfunction and endometriosis develop simultaneously,
under the influence of the same causes
