Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condition described is endometriosis, which is characterized by the growth of tissue similar to the endometrial lining of the uterus outside of the uterus, typically within the pelvic cavity. Endometritis refers to inflammation of the endometrial lining of the uterus, while pelvic inflammatory disease and peritubal adhesions are other conditions that can cause pelvic pain and infertility but are not necessarily related to the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus.
