Description:

The uterus of a woman is lined with endometrial tissue. This lining is known as the endometrium. Every menstrual cycle, your body produces new endometrium in preparation for a fertilized egg. When endometrial tissue proliferates outside the uterus, it is known as endometriosis. It most frequently affects the fallopian tubes, the uterosacral ligaments that surround the uterus, the lining of the pelvic cavity, the ovaries, the outside surface of the uterus and the area between the uterus and the bladder or rectum. Rarely can it also develop on or near the cervix rectum intestines bladder stomach (abdomen) vagina or vulva. Types: Endometriosis is also classified according to the part of the pelvis or abdomen it affects. There are four primary categories: 1.Endometriosis of the superficial peritoneum : Your pelvis and abdomen are lined by a thin membrane called the peritoneum. It also encloses the majority of these cavities' organs. The endometrial tissue adheres to the peritoneum in this form. The least severe version is this one. 2.Endometriomas : These cysts are packed with fluid and black. Another name for them is chocolate cysts. Although they can appear in various locations of your abdomen or pelvis and range in size, the ovaries are where they most frequently occur. 3.Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) : In this kind, the organs inside or outside of your pelvic cavity have been infiltrated by endometrial tissue. Your rectum bladder bowels and ovaries may be examples of this. Rarely but occasionally, organs can fuse together and become locked in place due to a large amount of scar tissue. This is referred to as a frozen pelvis. 4. Endometriosis of the abdominal wall : Endometrial tissue may occasionally develop on the abdominal wall. A surgical incision such as a C-section may become attached to the cells.

Cause:

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. However, a few potential reasons are as follows: Retrograde menstruation : Menstrual blood flows back into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes at this point rather than leaving the body. Endometrial cells from the uterus' inner lining are present in the blood. These cells have the potential to adhere to the surfaces of the pelvic organs and walls. Over the length of each menstrual cycle, they can develop there and keep getting thicker and bleeding. Transformed cells in the peritoneum. Experts suggest that immunological factors or hormones may contribute to the transformation of peritoneal cells—the cells lining the inside of the abdomen—into cells like those lining the uterus. Changes in embryonic cells : During puberty, hormones like estrogen have the ability to change embryonic cells, which are still in the early stages of development into growths that resemble endometrial tissue Surgical scar complication : When an incision is created in the stomach region during surgery, like a C-section, endometrial cells may adhere to the scar tissue. Transport of endometrial cells : Endometrial cells may be transported via the blood vessels or tissue fluid system to different areas of the body. Health of the immune system : An immune system malfunction could prevent the body from identifying and eliminating endometrial tissue.

Symptom:

Pelvic pain is the primary symptom of endometriosis. It's frequently connected to the menstrual cycle. While many people have cramps throughout their periods, endometriosis patients frequently report experiencing much more menstrual pain than usual. Additionally, the pain could get worse with time. Common endometriosis symptoms include: Period pain : Cramps and pelvic pain can occur days before or after the menstrual cycle. You can also experience stomach and lower back ache. Dysmenorrhea is another term for unpleasant periods. Sex-related pain : Endometriosis patients often experience pain during or after sex. discomfort with bowel motions or urination. These symptoms are more likely to occur either before or during your menstrual cycle. Excessive loss of blood: You might occasionally experience strong menstrual flow or intermenstrual bleeding. Fertility problems : In certain cases, endometriosis is initially discovered during examinations related to infertility therapy. Other signs : You can have nausea, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or exhaustion. It is more likely for these symptoms to occur before or during menstruation.
