Answers:
There is a condition which is similar to endometriosis known as adenomyosis, in which the endometrial tissue (the uterine lining, glands, and connective tissue) invades the deeper muscle layers of the uterus!. Usually there's a barrier between the endometrium and the deeper layers of the uterine wall that acts as a defence against invasion from endometrial tissue!. Women who develop adenomyosis do not seem to have this defence!.
Endometriosis is the growth of cells similar to those that form the inside of the uterus (endometrial cells), but in a location outside of the uterus!. Endometrial cells are the same cells that are shed each month during menstruation!. The cells of endometriosis attach themselves to tissue outside the uterus and are called endometriosis implants!. The implants are most commonly found on the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, outer surfaces of the uterus or intestines, and on the surface lining of the pelvic cavity!.
