The provided text explores the complex relationship between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases, highlighting that endometriosis is increasingly understood as a systemic, chronic inflammatory condition rather than solely a localized pelvic disorder. It thoroughly reviews epidemiological data, demonstrating a significant and consistent increased risk of various autoimmune conditions in individuals with endometriosis. The sources further illuminate the shared biological underpinnings, detailing how both conditions involve immune system dysregulation, common inflammatory pathways, and overlapping genetic susceptibilities.
