Endometriosis involves tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus, causing severe pain, fertility issues, and can be influenced by genetics, immune system issues, and environmental factors. Both conditions can lead to complications like infertility, mental health issues, and increased risk of other health problems. Prevention and management include lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, with options ranging from hormonal therapies to surgical interventions, emphasizing the importance of awareness and proactive health management to mitigate the impact of these conditions.
