Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and discomfort, especially during menstruation. This tissue can grow on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, and other organs in the pelvic area, and can cause scarring and infertility if left untreated. Cervical dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix, while priapism is a painful prolonged erection in males, and vulvodynia is a chronic pain condition affecting the vulva.
