Abstract
Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic disease, affects 10% of women in their reproductive years (1).It is defined by the presence of endometrial-like glands and stroma outside the uterus (Fig 1).The pathophysiology of endometriosis remains unclear, but one accepted theory suggests that it occurs when menstrual tissue travels backward into the body, known as retrograde menstruation.
