When Is It Right to See an Endometriosis Doctor?

Endometriosis is marked by tissue that normally lines the uterus growing in other areas of the body, which may lead to pain, irregular bleeding and even infertility. Common areas in which the tissue growth occurs in individuals with endometriosis include the pelvic area, the ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder and other areas in the region. Implants, as the tissue growth is called, may appear in other areas as well.
