Abstract
Endometriosis is a gynaecological condition in which cells in the endometrium appear and flourish outside the cavity of uterus, mostly on the ovaries. Other sites include fallopian tubes and ligaments supporting uterus. Its exact cause is still unknown. Endometriosis shows elevated levels of cytokines, decreased apoptosis and cell mediated abnormalities. Women with endometriosis were found to have higher rates of autoimmune disorders including hypothyroidism.
