Our Word of the Week this week is 'Reproductive System'. The primary function of the reproductive system is to allow for the creation of new individuals and ensure the continuation of a species. In humans, the reproductive system includes both male and female reproductive organs. The common misconception about endometriosis is that it is centralised to the reproductive system, however, it can also grow in various other parts of the body. However, it can affect the reproductive system. It involves the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. This tissue can grow on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic structures, leading to the formation of lesions, inflammation, and the development of scar tissue. Endometriosis can impact fertility and cause various reproductive health issues. #Endometriosis #Adenomyosis #Menstruation #ThisIsNotTheENDOfUs #ADENOughOfThis #Support
