Today we are going to discuss about the women reproductive system problem which occur during menstrual period that face many women. Scientifically it known as
ENDOMETRIOSIS by the way what is Endometriosis? According to Mayo Clinic it has explained in details as follows
Endometriosis (en-doe-me-tree-O-sis) 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. After know definition what are the its causes?
CAUSES
- 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.What are its indicators or symptoms?
SYMPTOMS
The primary symptom of endometriosis
is pelvic pain, often associated with your menstrual period. Although many
women experience cramping during their menstrual period, women with
endometriosis typically describe menstrual pain that's far worse than usual.
They also tend to report that the pain has increased over time.
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.
