This book provides a comprehensive look at endometriosis, a disease affecting 10 percent of reproductive women. It explores risk factors for endometriosis including environmental factors that are shedding light on this disease. It also investigates novel methods for diagnosing and treating pain related to endometriosis, which can be debilitating in some women. Conditions associated with endometriosis including adenomyosis, invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the uterine muscle, and infertility are reviewed in depth. Finally, the book examines treatment options for women with endometriosis ranging from hormonal to surgical. This volume is targeted to practitioners seeing patients with endometriosis to better inform them regarding up-to-date diagnostic and treatment options.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-like endometrial cells, glands, and stroma outside the uterus, causing a strong inflammatory-like microenvironment in the affected tissue. The exact prevalence of endometriosis is unknown, but estimates range from 2%-10% of women of reproductive age to 50% of infertile women. The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis remains controversial--immune, hormonal, genetic, and epigenetic factors may all be involved, and several theories have been proposed to explain it.This book aims to summarize some of the most recent advancements in basic and translational science (immunology, cell biology, genetics, and epigenetics) in the field of endometriosis that may create new scenarios and change our perspective of the topic.
