Endometriosis can be classified based on the location of the endometrial tissue:
- Ovarian endometriosis: This is the most common type and involves the growth of endometrial tissue on the ovaries.
- Peritoneal endometriosis: This type involves the growth of endometrial tissue on the peritoneum, the lining of the abdomen.
- Deep infiltrating endometriosis: This type involves the growth of endometrial tissue into other organs, such as the bowel or bladder.
