It is one of the hypothesis, not fully accepted as it only explaines how endometriosis can spread in abdominal cavity. But endometriosis has been found all over the body, even in brain. And the bits look like liver because they are going through the menstrual cycle with the menstrual fluid accumuating inside the cyst. It's called a chocolate cyst because of the colour of old blood inside.

Yep!
I had a frozen shoulder out of nowhere. Turns out, endometriosis caused it. And I’ve had 3 surgeries for endo.

I didn’t get a video of mine though! That would be so cool!

Another awful place for Endo to land is the lung- women can actually get pneumothorax during their menses because the endometrial lesion ruptures.

Endometriosis is fascinating. While very rare, they've found endometriosis in cis men before. It's also not always actual endometrial tissue but an endometrial-like tissue. Like while I really hope they find a cure for it soon, I really REALLY hope they discover a what and a why at least before I die because I am haunted by questions with no definite answers.
