SciShow: Endometriosis: When Uterine Tissue Goes Rogue

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: While period cramps are never fun, they can actually be debilitating for those with endometriosis - a disease where rogue uterine tissue turns up in places that it doesn’t belong.
