Endometriosis
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, with internal endometriosis or adenomyosis referring to ectopic foci within the myometrium.

This chapter focuses on endometriosis as ectopic foci of endometrial tissue developing outside the endometrial cavity, and briefly addresses internal endometriosis/adenomyosis as ectopic foci within the depth of the myometrium under a discussion of dysmenorrhea. It provides a conceptual overview rather than presenting new experimental data, drawing on earlier clinical and hormonal and surgical literature cited throughout. A key limitation is that the excerpted text does not describe specific study design, population, or methods, and the internal adenomyosis discussion is explicitly brief. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it defines endometriosis and mentions internal endometriosis/adenomyosis in the context of dysmenorrhea.
