The term "endometriosis" comes from the scientific name of the cell layer lining the mucous membrane of the uterine cavity - the endometrium. This layer is completely controlled by sex hormones, and its main purpose is to take a fertilized egg after conception.
This is already a diagnosis
The diagnosis of "endometriosis" is put when the endometrial cells are not at all where they should be by nature. There are external and internal endometriosis. External is observed when the endometrium is located on the reproductive organs, and internal - when grow into the uterus from the inside, increasing it in sizes up to 5 - 6 weeks gestation. The female endometriosis disease and treatment is occupied by the majority of women on the planet. This is the most common disease in a woman.
The Gene Level
There are many theories about how endometrial cells are not in the uterine cavity, but on its neck, in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, rectum and even in the abdominal cavity. To date, the theory of genetic predisposition to the disease of endometriosis is in the lead. The root cause can be abortion and psychological trauma. The ailment is multifaceted: for two women its manifestations can be completely different.
Complaints are?
Endometriosis is a benign pathological process characterized by the proliferation of tissue, when endometrial cells, very quickly becoming accustomed to a new place, begin to grow. With the germination of the endometrium in the bladder, pain occurs when urinating. The doctor needs a lot of practical work experience, in order to suspect from the patient's incoherent complaints of endometriosis, which most often can be recognized by the following symptoms:
pains in the lower abdomen, usually subsiding immediately after the onset of menstruation;
presence of spotting bloody secretions of dark chocolate color;
pain during urination and defecation, which usually "gives" to the upper abdomen;
a sharp decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood (anemia);
infertility.
Itself will not work!
The most unpleasant thing is that endometriosis will never pass by itself. It must be treated before full recovery. Even one left cell of this tissue is able to produce a colony of its kind. Delayed with treatment, you allow foreign cells to penetrate into other organs and disrupt their functioning. After all, female endometriosis and the treatment of this disease, which is more difficult at the last stage of the development of a common ailment.
Endometriosis gives a lot of serious complications, but the most difficult of them is infertility. Unfortunately, statistics show that many women learn about this, usually too late.
Today, there are many methods of medical and surgical female endometriosis and treatment, but there is no universal remedy for this misfortune. With mild forms of the disease, hormonal therapy, anti-inflammatory and immune preparations are prescribed, cryogenic methods, laser, electrocoagulation are used. The success of the treatment of endometriosis largely depends on the stage of the patient's pathology and state of health.
There is also this method of treatment
Female endometriosis disease and its treatment can also be mistaken by doctors. Abroad, to eliminate bleeding in endometriosis, doctors through the cervical canal enter into her cavity a small probe of the golden network structure. Under the control of echoscanning, its electrodes, using high frequency waves, suck up the expanded tissues of the uterine mucosa (endometrium).
