Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant.
Endometriosis can start at a person’s first menstrual period and last until menopause.
With endometriosis, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This leads to inflammation and scar tissue forming in the pelvic region and (rarely) elsewhere in the body.
The cause of endometriosis is unknown. There is no known way to prevent endometriosis. There is no cure, but its symptoms can be treated with medicines or, in some cases, surgery.

It causes a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in the formation of scar tissue (adhesions, fibrosis) within the pelvis and other parts of the body - The World Health Organisation
Endometriosis is called the invisble illness because it is not seen or heard, there is no research on it and therefore a very silent illness. Many people including myself are held bak from attending school or work and have been told we cannot have a family because of the illness. One of the leading causes of Endo is getting your period in a very early age. In this work I am experimenting with the idea of that woman and the child, The invisible, The pain that goes trough you, and the uncertainty.
