You probably mean endometriosis...
Endometriosis is a common medical condition affecting an estimated 89 million women of reproductive age around the world. With endometriosis, tissue like that which lines the uterus (the endometrium, from endo, "inside", and metra, "womb") is found outside the womb in other areas of the body. Normally, the endometrium is shed each month through menses; however, in endometriosis, the misplaced endometrium has no way of leaving the body. The tissues still break down and bleed, but result is far different than in women and girls without the disease: internal bleeding, degeneration of blood and tissue shed from the growths, inflammation of the surrounding areas, and formation of scar tissue result. In addition, depending on the location of the growths, interference with the normal function of the bowel, bladder, intestines and other areas of the pelvic cavity can occur. Endometriosis has also been found lodged in the skin, the lungs, the diaphragm and even the brain.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/gxwFn

it is called endometerosis and it is a condition which a lining forms on the outside of the uterus and attaches itself to your ovaries... it can cause severe cramping and bleeding and if left untreated it can also lead to infertility.

It's endometriosis. Not exactly sure what it is but it has to do with the uterus. Hope this helps you out: lining.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/endometriosis/DS00289

endometriosis is when polyps form in the uterus and falopian tubes making it increasingly hard to get pregnant, it also may be a good idea to have the polyps removed.
