Abstract

Endometriosis, although associated with a large variety of symptoms, primarily produces pain and infertility; however, the strong correlation with these disorders, along with basic questions as to why endometriosis develops, when does it become a disease status, and why it's associated with symptoms such as pain or infertility, are still not well understood. A better understanding of the relationship between disease and symptoms of endometriosis must be acquired if effective progress in the treatment of pain and infertility related to endometriosis is to be made.
