Endometriosis is a disease traditionally associated with the female reproductive system. Over the course of many decades, the scientific community has published an expanding quantity of literature that has identified endometriosis lesions present in every single body system. There are eleven (11) major systems. These systems are:
- Cardiovascular/Circulatory
- Cutaneous (Integumentary/Skin)
- Digestive
- Urinary/Excretory
- Lymphatic
- Respiratory/Pulmonary
- Reproductive
- Muscular
- Skeletal
- Neurological (Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems)
- Endocrine
(Note: The Sensory Organs: Auditory/Gustatory/Olfactory/Visual Systems and their pathways are not included (with exception to nasal tissue (Olfactory) and lacrimal glands (Visual accessory tissues, speculated, not confirmed endometriosis present).)
