Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain

How Endometriosis can cause or contribute to chronic pelvic pain, and what pelvic floor therapy can do to help alleviate it

Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside of the uterus(endometrial tissue is tissue that usually grows inside of the uterus and sheds each month). The most common area for it to grow is in the abdominal cavity, where it can implant on the surface of other structures including the ovaries, bladder, rectum, and along the walls of the abdomen and pelvis. Endometriosis of the ovaries is called an endometrioma. Endometriosis of the uterus is called adenomyosis.
