Please make this edit to this template. This will expand the bottom navigation to fill the width of the bottom of the navbox, and remove the spurious background coloring which is showing through near the edges in some browsers. Thank you.

Diseases and symptoms?

This template is titled diseases, and contains mostly disease, and yet there are some symptoms (e.g. vaginal bleeding) mixed in. There is usually a separate template to list symptoms... Lesion (talk) 02:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vestibular papillomatosis

This condition was incorrectly listed on the oral pathology template. Unsure where to put it here, I think under vulva, but not 100% sure. Lesion (talk) 02:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Endometriosis grows outside the uterus/endometrium not inside

Endometriosis is an illness that grows outside the uterus. Most often in the pelvic cavity and it should be listed under Other / general instead. The confusion probably comes from the fact that endometriosis tissue is similar to the tissue inside the uterus. Endometrial growths can grow on top of the uterus, ovaries, colon, inside the pelvic cavity but also other more rare places like the lungs, liver, heart etc. I have this illness. I intend to help improve & update the article at some point. Dinosaurseatpancakes (talk) 22:42, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: I think it is important to make a distinction that endometriosis lesions do not grow inside the uterus but if anything, they grow on top of the uterus and inside the pelvic cavity where it may attach itself to numerous pelvic organs other than the endometrium (pelvic wall, peritoneum, colon, bladder etc.). This info or the gist of it, I believe is available on the Endo article itself. This is why I believe the current listing may lead to false conclusions about where the illness actually "happens" since it is not limited to growing on top of the endometrium at all. I do not suggest any change to the ovarian endometriosis (attaches itself tightly to an ovary so that parts of said ovary may need to be surgically removed).
