WHERE DOES ENDOMETRIOSIS OCCUR?
Endometriosis is common on the surface of the ovaries, the back of the uterus, the space between the uterus and the rectum, fallopian tubes and sometimes even near the urinary bladder. When the disease affects the ovary, large patches of endometriosis may form into cysts that may be filled with dark blood, and are therefore called 'Chocolate cysts' or 'Endometriomas'. In some rare cases, it affects scar tissue if the woman has had an operation earlier.
