Endometriosis is the medical term meaning growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Usually uterine tissue belongs INSIDE the uterus, not out. If these cells are outside of the uterus, they are usually endometrial in nature. The reason this happens is not understood. However, it can wreak havoc on a woman's body. Once a month when the uterine lining sloughs off (through menstruation), endometrial tissue on the outside goes through the same process. However, because these cells can be ANYWHERE, including ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic walls, even the stomach, bowels, and kidneys, the "sloughing" process occurs to the other structures. It bleeds, then creates scar tissue wherever it bleeds. This whole process is known as ENDOMETRIOSIS and if allowed to continue, it can cause many problems including infertility and bowl obstruction.. Unfortunately, the ONLY way to find the endometrium, is by looking inside the pelvic cavity via laparascopic means. During a laparoscopy, a small last is used top vaporize any scar tissue and free up any organs that have been pinned by scar tissue. In the end, there are two or three 1/4th inch incisions, and the recovery process is about two to three days.

What causes a distended endometrial cavity?
A distended endometrial cavity can be caused by conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia (excessive growth of the endometrium), uterine fibroids, adenomyosis (endometrial tissue in the muscle wall of the uterus), or endometrial polyps. It can also result from hormonal imbalances or certain medications.
What hormone builds up the endometrial tissue lining in a woman's uterus?
estrogen
What is the purpose of an endometrial biopsy?
An endometrial biopsy is typically done to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, to check for endometrial hyperplasia or cancer, or to evaluate infertility. It involves removing a small sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus for examination under a microscope.
Where are Endometrial implants found?
They are growths of endometrial tissue that attach to organs, primarily in the pelvic cavity
