Endometriosis really just gets worse over time and it can continue after hysterectomy and menopause.
It's failed to be recognized as an autoimmune disease, but that's what it is.
During ovulation, endometrial tissue throughout the body acts up due to hormonal fluctuations.
During menstruation, endometrial tissue THROUGHOUT THE BODY "bleeds" just like the lining of the uterus, but because it's NOT IN THE FUCKING UTERUS, it can't get flushed out...
So it has to be slowly reabsorbed by the body over time.

Quote:Endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, can cause internal bleeding. This occurs because the displaced tissue thickens, breaks down, and bleeds during menstruation, but unlike the uterine lining, this blood has no way to exit the body.
So it has to be slowly reabsorbed by the body over time.
