摘要：
The principal symptoms and signs of endometriosis are tissue lesions and pelvic pain. These occur to varying degrees, with a chronic pattern and a tendency for deterioration with time. Patients with endometriosis often also have fertility problems, but the relationship between this and the signs and symptoms of the disease is inconsequent; the basic pathophysiology is not exactly known. Although an immunological defect resulting in an inflammatory reaction around discharged menstrual debris in the pelvic cavity has been shown, no treatments based on this process are available.
