Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue (endometrium) normally lining the womb (or uterus) grows on different organs outside the uterus.
If the endometrium grows within the muscular layer of the womb it is called adenomyosis, which is just a different type of endometriosis.
| Endometriosis - The commonest areas to be affected are: |
Ovaries where cysts might appear; these are called chocolate cysts because they contain brown material.
Area behind the womb and in front of the rectum (large bowel). This space is called the Pouch of Douglas and endometriosis here often causes deep pain and painful intercourse (dyspareunia).
less common sites include the bowel itself, the bladder and sites outside the pelvis including the navel or operation scars.
Like normal endometrial, the endometriosis tissue undergoes monthly changes according to the hormonal cycle and typically causes painful periods (dysmenorrheal).
Endometriosis is a very common condition affecting up to 10 per cent of women between 16 and 50 years of age, often without producing any symptoms. Endometriosis tissue is under hormonal influence so it is almost never seen in children or postmenopausal women.
It appears as small blackish-blue nodules on the external lining of the ovaries or elsewhere in the pelvis. In some cases it may lead to the formation of cysts filled with altered blood, known as chocolate cysts.
Endometriosis may cause discomfort or mild to severe pain during a period (dysmenorrheal), with many sufferers experiencing chronic pain. Sexual intercourse can be painful, and women with chocolate cysts may have a feeling of fullness in the lower parts of their stomach.
The formation of connecting tissues around endometriosis near the Fallopian tubes or ovaries may reduce fertility. THE TOLE'S Endometriosis Medicine may need between 4 to 8 weeks to reverse the problem. Fortunately, most women with endometriosis have a mild form of disease and their fertility is not impaired. Once pregnant, most women's endometriosis gets better under the influence of the constant high levels of female hormones produced in pregnancy.
Most patients does not like to get the western Endometriosis Medicine because it can have very bad side effects and sometimes may even get infertility from doing so. Others may need to get operations and hospitalize and very high hospital bills and long term artificial hormones that may encourage breast cancer. So many has to to our Endometriosis Medicine which could be done in 4 to 8 weeks time in most cases.
