Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the endometrium grows outside of the uterine cavity. The innermost lining of the uterus or the thin layer of the uterus is known as the endometrium.

 

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows in the tissue lining the ovaries, intestines, and pelvis. It hardly appears but not impossible, for endometrial-like tissue to extend beyond the pelvic region. Endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus is called an endometrial implant. 

Causes

During the regular menstrual cycle, the body sheds the lining of the uterus. This allows menstrual blood to flow from the uterus through a small opening in the cervix and through the vagina. One of the oldest theories is that endometriosis is caused by a process called retrograde menstruation, and studies have found that 90% of women experience it. This happens when menstrual blood flows back into the fallopian tubes and goes straight to the pelvic cavity in place of exiting the body via vagina.

 

Another believe is that the hormone makes changes to the cells that are present outside the uterus into cells similar to that ofinside the uterus and are known as endometrial cells.

Treatment for Endometriosis

Diagnosis of endometriosis begins with symptoms. Heavy painful menstrual periods should be evaluated by a doctor. A pelvic examination can be done by a family doctor or an obstetrician-gynecologist. For more information, an ultrasound can be ordered and then a pelvic image or MRI performed on the patient to further map the endometriosis. 

 

Laparoscopic surgery can be suggested. During this procedure, a biopsy or small sample of tissue is taken. A biopsy is sent to a laboratory to confirm the diagnosis. A doctor can help create a treatment plan for endometriosis based on several factors, including: 

·         The severity of the endometriosis

·         Plans for the future pregnancies

·         Patient age

·         Severity of the symptoms such as pain
