Both uterine fibroids and endometriosis are issues that affect the uterus, but they take different forms. Fibroids are benign, muscular tumors that grow from the uterine wall. There are a few different types of fibroids, classified by their location, and they can grow in clusters of multiple fibroids, or large enough to cause visible swelling in the abdomen.
With endometriosis, the inner lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) begins to grow outside of the uterus. This can be a painful and chronic medical condition where the overgrowth of tissue can also affect the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic tissue. https://www.usafibroidcenters.com/blog/difference-fibroids-endometriosis
