What does Endometriosis look like?

Normal pelvis A key hole surgery view of a normal pelvis showing the womb, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Superficial endometriosis The right ovary, right fallopian tube and superficial endometriosis and scarring below the ovary.
Severe endometriosis Severe endometriosis disrupting the pelvis. Although the womb can be seen the fallopian tubes and ovaries cannot be seen due to the bowel being stuck by endometriosis to the womb.
Deeply infiltrating endometriosis These are dense deposits that are localised in the lining of the pelvis, ligaments, bowel and recto-vaginal space. They cause significant distortion within the involved organ and are likely to be very painful.
Endometriomas Endometriomas also known as chocolate cysts are formed exclusively on the ovaries and can grow to a significant size. Frequently are bilateral and coincide with other types of endometriosis and adhesions.
