Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding, and possible infertility.

The tissue growth (implant) typically occurs in the pelvic area, outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder, and the delicate lining of the pelvis. However, the implants can occur in other areas of the body, too.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. However, there are a number of theories. One suggests that the endometrial cells (loosened during menstruation) may "back up" through the fallopian tubes into the pelvis, where they implant and grow in the pelvic or abdominal cavities. This is called retrograde-menstruation.

Other theories include:

A faulty immune system causes menstrual tissue to implant and grow in areas other than the uterine lining.
Cells lining the abdominal cavity may spontaneously develop endometriosis.
Certain families may have genetic factors that make a woman more prone to endometriosis
Each month the ovaries produce hormones that stimulate the cells of the uterine lining (endometrium) to multiply and prepare for a fertilized egg. The lining swells and gets thicker.

If endometrial cells are implanted outside the uterus, or elsewhere, it can cause problems. These cells also respond to the monthly hormone stimulation. Unlike cells normally found in the uterus that fall off during menstruation, the ones outside the uterus stay in place. They sometimes bleed a little bit, but they heal and are stimulated again during the next cycle.

This ongoing process can cause scarring and adhesions in the tubes and ovaries, and at the end of the fallopian tubes. (The adhesions can make it hard for reproductive cells to move from the ovary to the fallopian tube. They can also stop a fertilized egg from passing down the fallopian tube to the uterus.)

Endometriosis is a common problem. It occurs in an estimated 10% of women during their reproductive years. The rate may be as high as 35% among infertile women. Although endometriosis is typically diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 35, the problem probably begins about the time that regular menstruation begins.

A woman who has a mother or sister with endometriosis has a 6 times greater risk of developing endometriosis than the general population. Other possible risk factors include starting menstruation at an early age, regular menstrual cycles, and long periods (lasting 7 or more days).

Symptoms

Increasingly painful periods
Lower abdominal pain or pelvic cramps that can by felt for a week or two before menstruation
Lower abdominal pain felt during menstruation (the pain and cramps may be steady and dull or quite severe)
Pelvic or low back pain that may occur at any time during the menstrual cycle
Pain during or following sexual intercourse
Pain with bowel movements
Premenstrual spotting
Infertility
Note: Frequently, symptoms may not be present. In fact, some women with severe cases of endometriosis have no pain at all, while some women with only a few small implants have severe pain.

I believe your saying endometriosis, and if you are I have listed the terminology and symptoms for you below.

Endometriosis is a condition in which the cells from the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) also grow elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. It can produce a host of different symptoms, including incapacitating pain in the uterus, lower back, and organs in the pelvic cavity prior to and during the menses; intermittent pain throughout the menstrual cycle; painful intercourse; excessive bleeding, including the passage of large clots and shreds of tissue during the menses; nausea, vomiting and constipation during the menses; and infertility.
Laparoscopy is the procedure most commonly used to diagnose endometriosis.
If you suspect you have endometriosis, you should see a gynecologist a.s.a.p. so that the condition can be controlled at the earliest possible stage of development.

I hope this has helped answer your question.

Endometriosis is when the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) leaves the vault of the uterus and attaches to outside organs, such as the external wall of the uterus, the fallopian tubes, your intestines, etc.
In severe cases, the doc will perform surgery to remove the growths; this does not however prevent future episodes of the disease returning.

You really need to read "Endometriosis Bible & Violet Protocol" by Zoe Brown (also available in electronic format here: http://www.endometriosisbible.info ). It's about how to eradicate endometriosis disease forever. It worked for me, you will see results in only a matter of weeks. Good Luck!
