HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis - is an often painful disorder in which tissue
that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside
your uterus (endometrial implant). Endometriosis most commonly involves your
ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely, endometrial tissue may
spread beyond your pelvic region.
In endometriosis, displaced endometrial tissue continues to act
as it normally would — it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual
cycle. Because this displaced tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes
trapped. When endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts called endometriomas
may form. Surrounding tissue can become irritated, eventually developing scar
tissue and adhesions — abnormal tissue that binds organs together.
Endometriosis can cause pain — sometimes severe — especially
during your period. Fertility problems also may develop. Fortunately, effective
treatments are available.
Causes-- Although the exact cause of endometriosis is not
certain, several possible explanations include:
·
Retrograde
menstruation. This is the most likely
explanation for endometriosis. In retrograde menstruation, menstrual blood
containing endometrial cells flows back through the fallopian tubes and into
the pelvic cavity instead of out of the body. These displaced endometrial cells
stick to the pelvic walls and surfaces of pelvic organs, where they grow and
continue to thicken and bleed over the course of each menstrual cycle.
·
Embryonic cell
growth. The cells lining the abdominal
and pelvic cavities come from embryonic cells. When one or more small areas of
the abdominal lining turn into endometrial tissue, endometriosis can develop.
·
Surgical scar
implantation. After a surgery, such as a
hysterectomy or C-section, endometrial cells may attach to a surgical incision.
·
Endometrial cells
transport. The blood vessels or tissue
fluid (lymphatic) system may transport endometrial cells to other parts of the
body.
·
Immune system
disorder. It's possible that a problem
with the immune system may make the body unable to recognize and destroy
endometrial tissue that's growing outside the uterus.
Symptoms-- Common signs and symptoms of endometriosis may
include:
·
Painful periods
(dysmenorrhea). Pelvic pain and cramping may
begin before and extend several days into your period and may include lower
back and abdominal pain.
·
Pain with
intercourse. Pain during or after sex is
common with endometriosis.
·
Pain with bowel
movements or urination. You're most
likely to experience these symptoms during your period.
·
Excessive bleeding. You may experience occasional heavy periods
(menorrhagia) or bleeding between periods (menometrorrhagia).
·
Infertility. Endometriosis is first diagnosed in some
women who are seeking treatment for infertility.
·
Other symptoms. You may also experience fatigue, diarrhea,
constipation, bloating or nausea, especially during menstrual periods.
The severity of your pain isn't necessarily a
reliable indicator of the extent of the condition. Some women with mild
endometriosis have extensive pain, while others with advanced endometriosis may
have little pain or even no pain at all.
Endometriosis is sometimes mistaken for other
conditions that can cause pelvic pain, such as pelvic inflammatory disease
(PID) or ovarian cysts. It may be confused with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
a condition that causes bouts of diarrhea, constipation and abdominal cramping.
IBS can accompany endometriosis, which can complicate the diagnosis.
