Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women.

Surgical removal of endometriosis lesions may be performed if hormonal therapies are ineffective or contraindicated, and hysterectomy may be considered if medical treatments and surgical removal of lesions do not relieve symptoms.
