Endometriosis is a chronic, progressive condition in which patches of endometrium occurs in parts of your body other than your womb. These abnormal cells can attach to the pelvis or tummy, but it can also occur: in the fallopian tubes, on the ovary; deep within the muscular wall of the womb itself; scattered about the inside of the pelvis; Anywhere in the abdominal cavity; on the lining of the nose; in the lungs; in intestines, including the back passage (rectum) and rarely, under the skin, forming patches.

The misplaced tissue develops into growth or lesions that respond to menstrual cycle in the same way the uterine lining does. As hormones are released during the menstrual cycle, the lesion can swell and bled, which causes scar tissue to form around the site. Because endometrial tissues develops outside of the uterus it has no way of leaving the body, thus the tissue and blood waste builds up in the abnormal cavity and may attach itself to ovaries or bowels causing severe pain.

Endometriosis usually affects women during their reproductive years and is common cause infertility. The cause of Endometriosis is not known. Some experts believe that menstrual fluids back up into the fallopian tube and drops into the peritoneal cavity where the cell implant and grow. Others believe endometrial cells spread through the blood and lymphatic channels. Others possible causes include heredity, excess estrogen and exposure to environmental polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and dioxin. It is believed that vulnerability to endometriosis may run in families.

One-third of women with endometriosis have no symptoms. The symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain, especially when you have your period, blood in stools and blood flowing intercourse, Heavy or irregular menstruation; pain during intercourse; infertility or miscarriage and pain with bladder or bowel function, or intestinal pain. These symptoms vary widely from woman to woman. Some experience little to no pain, while others suffer excruciating pain in the pelvic region. Severity of pain is usually tied to the size and location of the lesions, which can develop and seed new growths. Lesions may attach to multiple organs, pulling them together and causing even more pain, especially during pregnancy.

Cysts may form on the ovaries, which contain oxidized (decomposed) blood. As these cysts rupture they cause excruciating pain. In most cases, pain begins just prior to menstruation and abates after menstrual flow begins. Some women experience pain continuously with no ties to menstrual cycle. Most women who have endometriosis have never been pregnant and as many as 40 percent of women with infertility problems have endometriosis. Many of these women do not seek medical attention because their symptoms are mistaken for normal menstrual discomfort. Many women who develop endometriosis have a greater history of yeast infections, hay fever, eczema, and food sensitivities. Endometrial growth are usually benign (not cancerous) yet it is believed that women with endometriosis are at greater risk of developing breast cancer, melanoma, lymphoma and ovarian cancer.

 

POSSIBLE LIFESTYLE CHANGES, HELP AND RECOMMENDATION FOR NATURAL TREATMENT ON ENDOMETRIOSIS

There has been no research investigating the effect of any specific diet in women with endometriosis. Preliminary research suggests that women who consume more than 5grams of caffeine per month (about 1.5 cups of coffee a day) are more likely to have endometriosis. No study has investigated whether avoiding caffeine improves the symptoms of endometriosis. Preliminary studies suggest that women who exercise two to four hours per week have less risk of developing endometriosis. However the benefit seems to be limited to those women who participate in vigorous exercise, such as jogging or other activities that raise the heart rate. Whether exercise will reduce the symptoms of existing endometriosis is unknown.
