Can endomitriosis become endocarditis?!
Question: No. Basically the word endo just means, "within," so endomitriosis happens within the uterus and endocarditis happens within the heart. The are not related to each other in any other way. It's just way of saying where a problem is, not that it is related to another problem in another area.

No. Despite the similar names, these two conditions are totally unrelated.
Endometriosis is when endometrium (the type of tissue that lines the uterus) grows in other areas of the body-- most commonly elsewhere in the reproductive system, or in the abdominal cavity or digestive tract, but occasionally in other vital organs, the skin, the eyes or even the brain. This causes problems because the endometrial tissue detaches and bleeds each month during the menstrual period, but usually has no way to leave the body. This causes pain, hemorrhaging, and scarring in the affected area. Believe it or not, about 20% of women worldwide will have endometriosis at some time.
On the other hand, endocarditis is simply inflammation of the endocardium (the lining of the heart) regardless of cause.
