Pediatric endometriosis

Pediatric endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, affecting girls and young women before they reach adulthood. This can occur in various areas of the pelvis and can lead to symptoms like pelvic pain, painful periods, or discomfort during activities such as exercise. Although often associated with older women, it can affect younger individuals and may require medical evaluation and treatment. Early diagnosis is important for managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Treatment options may include medication or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
