The endometrium is the tissue that lines the uterus. Under the effect of hormones (estrogen), during the cycle, the endometrium thickens for a potential pregnancy, and if there is no fertilization, it breaks down and bleeds. These are the rules. In almost all women cells will move up and migrate through the tubes and disperse in the abdomen. This is the theory of period reflux. But the immune system is organized to destroy these cells that are not where they are needed. However, in 10% of women, the endometrial tissue that develops outside the uterus is not destroyed and is grafted onto the organs and then causes lesions, adhesions and ovarian cysts (endometriomas). This is where it becomes "endometriosis". This "colonization", although it mainly takes place on the genitals and peritoneum, can frequently extend to the urinary, digestive, and more rarely pulmonary (diaphragm) systems. There have even been very rare cases of endometriosis in the brain.
