This article defines endometriosis as the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, noting its prevalence in five to ten percent of the general population and its association with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and dyspareunia. It outlines that while pelvic locations are most common, extrapelvic manifestations can occur in organs such as the kidneys, lungs, and abdominal wall, where periodic bleeding leads to fibrosis and adhesions. The text reviews classification systems, highlighting the limitations of traditional staging and the increasing clinical utility of the ENZIAN score for accounting for retroperitoneal involvement. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically discussing its definition, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic classification including the ENZIAN scoring system.
