(Endometriosis) what causes this?

Answer 1

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. Some experts believe that pieces of endometrium travel back through the fallopian tubes and pass out into the pelvic cavity (space inside the pelvis that holds the reproductive organs). Tiny pieces of tissue may lodge on surfaces of the reproductive organs. During menstruation, the tissue bleeds, just like the endometrium inside the uterus. Blood from these areas can cause irritation of the surrounding tissue which may become swollen and inflamed. Over time, scar tissue and cysts can form.

What Are the Symptoms of Endometriosis?

Many times, endometriosis has no symptoms. When symptoms are present, they may include:

Abdominal cramps or back pain during menstruation.
Very painful menstrual cramps.
Painful bowel movements.
Painful urination, especially during menstruation.
Abnormal or heavy bleeding during periods.
Painful sex.
Difficulty becoming pregnant.

I was diagnosed with it in Dec 2005. I was on the lupron shot for 6 months and will be on birth control for the rest of my life till I hit menopause. And I am 27. You can get it at any age.

Answer 2

It is still unknown what causes endometriosis. I have severe and agressive endometriosis. My symptoms first started when I was 22 (over 7 years ago). I have severe pain during my periods.

My doctor is a strong believer that it is hereditary. And I believe him. All of the females on my father's side of the family have had 'female' problems too.

If you have endo, get the surgery to help elevate some of the pain. If you do not have a severe case, then it should help you with the pain and with your infertility. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

You really need to read "Endometriosis Bible & Violet Protocol" by Zoe Brown (also available in electronic format here: http://www.endometriosisbible.info ). It's about how to eradicate endometriosis disease forever. It worked for me, you will see results in only a matter of weeks. Good Luck!

Answer 5

The lining of the uterus just starts wearing out and then it is harder for the uterus to shred the lining so it starts to grow into the uterus wall making it all that much harder and then you have a thick stringy mess that hardly contracts enough to completely shed for a healthy period so you just bleed and bleed and clot and it is very nasty stuff.
