The uterus, or womb, is the place where a fetus grows during pregnancy. The uterus is lined with tissue (endometrium). Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue like the lining of the uterus grows in other places in your body. These patches of tissue are called "implants," "nodules," or "lesions." They are most often found:

On or under the ovaries
On the fallopian tubes, which carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus
Behind the uterus
On the tissues that hold the uterus in place
On the bowels or bladder

Celiac disease, which comes from the Greek word for “abdominal,” is a lifelong intolerance to gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and also in oats that have been contaminated with gluten from other products. In people with celiac disease, gluten damages the lining of the intestines. This can prevent them from absorbing nutrients and cause a variety of other symptoms.

Celiac disease is a lifelong intolerance to gluten. Learn more from Boston Children’s Hospital.

If you’re experiencing pain when urinating, you may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). While most UTIs develop in the bladder, bacteria can move into the kidneys, leading to kidney infections, which can have serious consequences.

“Many people ignore pain and other signs of a bladder infection and ‘wait it out’ until symptoms improve,” says Peyton Erb, a board-certified physician assistant at Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialists. “If you seek medical help, we can often resolve symptoms quickly.”

Sinusitis refers to inflammation of one or more of the sinuses, most often caused by infection. Sinusitis can leave you with nasal congestion, facial pain, and headaches. You may also experience loss of smell or taste, fever, cough, or bad breath.

Most cases of sinusitis are acute, meaning they last less than three weeks. Acute sinusitis may clear on its own, but home remedies and over-the-counter medication can help to relieve symptoms.

In some cases, symptoms last longer or may recur multiple times per year. This is called chronic sinusitis. With chronic sinusitis, it's important to look for the underlying cause when possible because that is what guides treatment.
