About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare neurovascular regulation in women with endometriosis and healthy women. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do women with endometriosis have greater blood pressure and pain responses to a stimulus than healthy women? * Do women with endometriosis have greater platelet activity than healthy women? Participants will take aspirin and/or placebo and will: * perform hand grip exercise and cold pressor tests * undergo iontophoresis and blood draw Researchers will compare women with and without endometriosis to see if there is a difference in neurovascular regulation.
