By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 04/06/2022

Endometriosis can occur in different locations, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, behind the uterus, in the uterine ligaments, in the pelvic cavity and, more rarely, in areas such as the bladder or lungs.

Depending on where the endometrial tissue develops, we distinguish:

  • Ovarian endometriosis
  • Tubal or fallopian tube endometriosis
  • Pelvic endometriosis
  • Rectal endometriosis
  • Intestinal endometriosis
  • Peritoneal endometriosis
