Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic tissues. This displaced tissue continues to act as it normally would - thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle - causing severe pain, inflammation, and often fertility problems.

Menopause

Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of menstrual cycles, diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. It typically occurs between ages 45-55 as the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone. While a normal part of aging, menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and bone loss can significantly affect quality of life and long-term health.
