What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing severe pain, especially during menstruation. This misplaced tissue can appear on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or within the pelvic cavity, disrupting normal reproductive function and potentially leading to infertility. Although the exact causes are not fully understood, hormonal imbalances and genetic factors play a significant role.

Cysts – What does it mean?

Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in various tissues and organs. Ovarian cysts are particularly common and typically form as part of the menstrual cycle. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, but larger or persistent cysts may cause discomfort and require medical attention. In rare cases, cysts can be malignant, so regular check-ups are essential.

Mastopathy – Breast Tissue Changes

Mastopathy refers to benign changes in breast tissue often caused by hormonal fluctuations. Women may notice lumps or thickening in their breasts, which are usually harmless but can cause discomfort, particularly before menstruation. While mastopathy is not cancer, any changes in the breast should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out more serious conditions.
