Many women suffering from endometriosis found themselves marginalized for a very long time because of the difficulty of this diagnosis. However, according to the Ministry of Solidarity and Health, 10% of women of childbearing age in the world are affected by endometriosis and this affects 1.5 million women in France . These figures underline the fact that endometriosis is a very widespread disease and the public health problems associated with it should not be overlooked.


What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a complex chronic gynecological disease characterized by the abnormal presence of endometrial tissue, also called uterine tissue, outside the uterus. During the menstrual cycle of women suffering from endometriosis, cells from the uterine lining (endometrium) migrate and implant themselves in other organs of the body. Most of the time, these tissues are located near the uterus, mainly in the ovaries, uterine tubes, bladder, intestines, kidneys, or even other more distant organs such as the lungs or the liver . When endometrial cells migrate into the muscle of the uterine wall (myometrium), we then speak of adenomyosis.


Since endometriosis lesions have the same characteristics as the endometrium, the latter are also sensitive to hormonal variations, which explains why endometriosis is called an estrogen-dependent disease . During each menstrual cycle, in response to hormonal fluctuations, these tissues bleed which causes an inflammatory reaction, chronic pain, damage and scar formation. This disease manifests itself in women of childbearing age, from puberty , and generally disappears after menopause . The exact cause of this abnormal migration of endometrial tissue remains largely unknown .


Forms of endometriosis

According to the High Authority for Health and the National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians of France (CNGOF), endometriosis is classified into three forms : superficial endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis and deep pelvic endometriosis. Don't panic, we'll explain everything to you!


1 - Superficial endometriosis 

Also called peritoneal endometriosis , this form of endometriosis is the most common . Endometrial lesions are located on the surface of the peritoneum , a membrane lining the interior walls of the abdomen, as well as on the organs present in the abdomen. These superficial lesions can cause, among other things, pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) as well as abnormal bleeding.


2 - Ovarian endometriosis


This form of endometriosis, also called “endometrioma,” is characterized by the formation of blood-filled cysts on the ovaries . This can lead to an enlarged ovary, severe pelvic pain, pain during periods (dysmenorrhea) and fertility problems.

3 – Deep pelvic endometriosis 

Deep pelvic endometriosis is characterized by endometrial lesions infiltrating deeply, that is to say more than 5 millimeters below the peritoneum . These lesions can particularly be located in the rectum, colon, bladder or even in the uterosacral ligaments. This form of endometriosis can cause intense pain during periods, rectal or intestinal pain during bowel movements, pain during sexual intercourse, urinary problems or even fertility problems.


It is important to emphasize that these forms of endometriosis can coexist in the same person. Additionally, endometriosis can also affect rarer sites, such as the lungs, upper urinary tract, or other organs distant from the uterus.
