Endometriosis occurs when your uterine lining, or endometrium, grows outside of your uterus.<\/p>\n
Your endometrium lining builds up every month during your menstrual cycle as your body prepares for a potential pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn\u2019t occur, it breaks down and causes the bleeding associated with your menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n
When endometrium begins growing outside of the uterus, it continues thickening and breaking down as it would normally. As it grows in other areas inside your pelvis — like the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and lining of the pelvis — this displaced tissue can cause irritation and inflammation.<\/p>\n
In some cases, endometriosis can lead to scar tissue and adhesions that make organs and tissues in your pelvis to stick together. It can also lead to infertility.<\/p>\n
What are the symptoms of endometriosis?<\/h3>\n
The most common symptom of endometriosis is a pain in your pelvic area. Additional symptoms include:<\/p>\n
\n- Fatigue<\/li>\n
- Fertility issues<\/li>\n
- Bloating or nausea<\/li>\n
- Chronic pelvic pain<\/li>\n
- Constipation or diarrhea<\/li>\n
- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)<\/li>\n
- Heavy periods or bleeding between periods<\/li>\n
- Painful periods with pelvic pain and cramping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It\u2019s possible to have endometriosis without having any pain at all. Sometimes, a woman learns she has endometriosis when she\u2019s having fertility problems.<\/p>\n
What causes endometriosis?<\/h3>\n
The exact cause of endometriosis isn\u2019t known, but several factors could play a role, including:<\/p>\n
\n- Genetics<\/li>\n
- Uterine abnormalities<\/li>\n
- Cell changes triggered by estrogen<\/li>\n
- Disorders affecting the immune system<\/li>\n
- Pelvic surgeries like hysterectomy or cesarean section<\/li>\n
- Menstrual fluid flowing back into the pelvic cavity (retrograde menstruation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Your risk of developing endometriosis is higher if you\u2019re underweight, have never given birth, started menstruating at a young age, or reach menopause at an older age.<\/p>\n
How is endometriosis treated?<\/h3>\n
At MyDoc Women\u2019s Health Specialist, your team member works closely with you to develop an endometriosis treatment strategy personalized to your condition and desire to have children.<\/p>\n
In addition to conservative therapies like over-the-counter pain relievers to ease your pain, they might also suggest:<\/p>\n
\n- Hormone therapy like contraceptives<\/li>\n
- Traditional surgery to remove endometrial tissue, but preserve your uterus and ovaries<\/li>\n
- Total hysterectomy to remove the uterus, cervix, and ovaries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
