What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Pain during periods or intercourse
  • Digestive or urinary discomfort

Why Overlap Matters

Endometriosis rarely acts alone. Conditions like Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) often coexist, intensifying pain and delaying diagnosis.

  • Up to 80% of women with endometriosis show signs of PCS (ovarian varices).
  • Overlapping conditions can lead to years of delayed treatment.
