Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It affects nearly 10% of women of reproductive age and often presents with chronic pelvic pain, severe dysmenorrhea, digestive issues, dyspareunia, and infertility. Despite a wide range of available treatments (painkillers, hormone therapy, surgery), many patients report persistent symptoms, with side effects that can be poorly tolerated.
