Endometriosis

What is endometriosis and how can we help?

Endometriosis is the growth of abnormal cells that grow outside the uterus. These cells (endometrial Cells), attach to organ sites and shed each month as though it is a normal menstrual cycle.  Some of the sites include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pouch of douglas, and intestines although it can be others such as the lungs.

COMMON SYMPTOMS:

  • Severe lower abdominal pain
  • Pain with constipation or diarrhoea
  • Lower back pain
  • Irregular /or heavy bleeding
  • Blood in urine
  • Menstrual periods can begin with a “Brown” like spotting for couple of days to progress to a mensrual bleed and to finish off with the same “Brown like spotting.  Mid cycle pain and spotting may also exist.
  • Pain during intercourse or cramping can be common
  • Infertility

ENDOMETRIOSIS  AFFECTS WOMEN DURING THEIR REPRODUCTIVE YEARS.

Endometriosis is diagnosed based on specialist doctors’ findings, which include a physical examination, ultrasound and more often via a laparoscopy and biopsy.
Western medicine treats these conditions by the use of NSAIDS to relieve pain/cramping as well as Hormonal treatment eg: different types of pills and Surgery.
