2. âą Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue that
normally lines the inside of your uterus â the endometrium â
grows outside your uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves
your ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely,
endometrial tissue may spread beyond your pelvic region.
âą In endometriosis, displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it
normally would: It thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each
menstrual cycle. And because this displaced tissue has no way to
exit your body, it becomes trapped. Surrounding tissue can become
irritated, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions â
abnormal tissue that binds organs together.
âą This process can cause pain â sometimes severe â especially
during your period. Fertility problems also may develop.
Fortunately, effective treatments are available.
3. âą A process called retrograde menstruation is a 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 the menstrual cycle.
âą Retrograde menstruation alone may not cause endometriosis,
though. Instead, the condition may develop when one or more
small areas of the abdominal lining turns into endometrial tissue.
This is possible because the cells lining the abdominal and pelvic
cavities are descended from embryonic cells with the potential to
specialize and take on the structure and function of endometrial
cells. What activates that potential remains unknown.
4. âą Among the factors that place you at greater risk of developing
endometriosis are:
âą Never giving birth
âą One or more relatives (mother, aunt or sister) with endometriosis
âą Menstrual cycles shorter than 27 days with bleeding lasting longer
than eight days
âą Any medical condition that prevents the normal passage of
menstrual flow
âą A history of pelvic infection
âą Endometriosis usually develops several years after the onset of
menstruation (menarche). The signs and symptoms of
endometriosis end temporarily with pregnancy and permanently
with menopause.
5. âą The main complication of endometriosis is impaired fertility.
Approximately one-third to one-half of women who have
endometriosis have difficulty getting pregnant.
âą For pregnancy to occur, an egg must be released from an ovary,
travel through the neighboring fallopian tube, become fertilized by
a sperm cell and attach itself to the uterine wall to begin
development. Endometriosis may obstruct the tube and keep the
egg and sperm from uniting, but the condition also seems to affect
fertility in less-direct ways.
âą Even so, many women with mild to moderate endometriosis are
still able to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. Doctors
sometimes advise women with endometriosis not to delay having
children because the condition may worsen with time. The longer
you have endometriosis, the greater your chance of becoming
infertile.
6. âą Because the causes of endometriosis remain
elusive, no definite techniques to manage the
risk of endometriosis have been developed.
Although it appears that women who have
given birth are less likely to develop
endometriosis than are women who have not,
many other factors play a more important role
in the decision to have a child.
