Endometriose
Endometriosis is defined as endometrial glands and stroma occurring in extrauterine locations, impacting a significant portion of the female population, particularly infertile women.

This chapter defines endometriosis as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in extrauterine, non-physiologic locations and notes its practical importance due to its frequency in the female population, including specific subpopulations such as sterile women. It emphasizes that one differentiating feature among endometriosis forms is their localization. The main limitation is that the provided text functions as a general overview without presenting specific study methods, original data, or explicit results beyond conceptual classification. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides a definition and overview framework for different forms based on lesion location.
