ENDOMETRIOSIS – CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT Did you know that Endometriosis can have a huge impact on fertility and it’s also responsible for 35-50% of fertility issues in women? This article reveals how endometriosis affects fertility, causes of endometriosis, risk factors and so on. You will also find in this article several factors that hinder pregnancy in women. Most of these factors are man-made and they are things we can correct by ourselves without taking any drugs. You will find more details by readi ng the article. Endometriosis is when the tissues of the endometrium lining of the uterus grow outside of the uterus. The endometrium is the inner mucosal lining of the uterus. It has two layers. The stratum functionale contains the excretory glands and is shed as menses during menstruation. It is then built-up again by stimulation of the ovaries releasing hormones. The deeper layer that resides next to the myometrium is vascular (vessels that carry fluids) and serves to regenerate the stratum functionale after each menstruation ends. In women with endometriosis, the displaced tissues function are influenced by hormones just as a normal endometrium would. This means that these displaced tissues go through the same cycle that any endometrium would; the tissues build up as the body approaches ovulation, then begin to break down when ovulation does not occur and then the displaced tissues bleed during menses. When the endometrial lesions bleed, the blood accumulates locally and triggers inflammation and pain. Over time this may cause development of adhesion (internal scar tissue). Endometriosis may attach to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, bladder, ligaments or other areas in the abdominal cavity. Rarely the endometrial cells will attach to other areas in the body including the lungs and nasal cavity. If adhesions develop, this may cause internal organs to become stuck to other internal parts of the body and may even cause displacement of organs and other tissues. Some of the symptoms are: Heavy menstruation with pain, large clots, long or abnormal length of cycles Lower abdominal pain, back pain, burning pain over the site Frequent or constant pain all month long Painful sexual intercourse Pain during bowel movement or urination Rarely bleeding after intercourse, bowel movement, or urination Dysmenorrhea Ovarian swelling Swollen abdomen Infertility Risk Factors There are a variety of risk factors for the development of endometriosis. Here are the main risk factors: Too much estrogen/too little progesterone Genetic predisposition Too much conventional meat Radiation and EMF’s An abnormality in the immune system Exposure to environmental toxins Benign uterine fibroids What Causes Endometriosis? Doctors and Scientist don’t really know for sure what causes endometriosis. Combined theories agree that there are many different factors in the development of this condition, which makes endometriosis a complex condition with a many different origins. Because researchers cannot find one direct link to the cause, it also makes it very difficult to treat medically. Genetic Predisposition Genetic predisposition in women with a family history of mothers or sisters that have endometriosis are at a higher risk for developing endometriosis.
