Endometriosis: an condition where endometrial epithelium is found in ectopic places (ie not in the uterus), which can usually mean pretty where anywhere else in the abdomen in small or not so small clusters. These cycle with hormones and bleed periodically the way that normal endometrium does in the uterus causing cyclical pain. The cyclical endometrial erosions and bleeding resulting from this can also lead to scar formation (adhesions) in a very unlucky minority of patients causing other bowel problems. There is also a risk that oestrogen sensitive tissue whether in utero or not can give rise to endometrial cancer if one's lifetime exposure to oestrogen is excesive (hence the reason women taking hormonal therapy with a uterus still in place should have progesterone cover as this is protective, as are pregnancies).
An endometrial cyst is simply a cyst (ie fluid filled cavity) within the lining of the uterus (ie not ectopic). A true cyst should have a defined capsule, otherwise it is a pseudocyst which by contrast is usually lined only be inflammatory tissue.
An endometriotic cyst is one arising from an area fo endometriosis (ie in an ectopic, that is, extrauterine location). All endometriotic deposits can go through the same cycles and changes as endometrium in the uterus. Bleeding into endometriotic cysts, when seen at surgery, looks dark brown as the blood is often partially broken down already; hence the name: chocolate cysts.
Does that answer your question adequately?

Both are usually appeals for things you ask for selfishly or ought to take care of yourself. The Lottery costs you a around 70 cents for each dollar of return on the long term, and it has only materialistic benefits. Prayer doesn t cost you anything, the results are based on the request s agreement with the perfect divine plan, and it can have eternal benefits. The Lottery will break your bank account, but investing in prayer builds your heavenly account -- if you have accepted the deposit that s waiting to take you out of the red.

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.
In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/ydPX4
