Z Contents of this page: Pelvic laparoscopy Endometriosis Abnormal menstrual periods Definition Return to top Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding , and frequently infertility The tissue growth typically occurs in the pelvic area, outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder, and the delicate lining of the pelvis, but it can occur in other areas of the body as well. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The cause of endometriosis is unknown. However, a number of theories have been proposed. The retrograde-menstruation theory proposes that endometrial cells (loosened during menstruation) may "back up" through the fallopian tubes into the pelvis, where they implant and grow in the pelvic and/or abdominal cavities. The immune-system theory suggests that a deficiency in the immune system allows menstrual tissue to implant and grow in areas other than the uterine lining. Another theory suggests that the cells lining the abdominal cavity may spontaneously develop endometriosis. A genetic theory proposes that certain families may exhibit predisposing factors that lead to endometriosis.

22. Center For Endometriosis Care | Welcome
    The Center for endometriosis Care was founded to diagnose, treat, and educate women with endometriosis. Free literature and a quarterly newsletter are available.  
    http://www.CenterForEndo.com/
    
    Extractions: Historically, medical textbooks teach that endometriosis looks like black powder burns. However, many studies have shown that black implants are not even the most common. Clear, white, red, yellow, blue and gray implants can also occur. A surgeon who looks only for black spots can miss significant disease. The CEC medical staff has many years and thousands of cases of experience in disease recognition. At the Center for Endometriosis Care, we consider any abnormal area of the peritoneum to be endometriosis until proven otherwise by pathology.

    Extractions: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that occurs when cells from the womb are found outside the womb. The most common symptom of endometriosis is pain. Usually it begins with menstruation, or it may build up a few days before your period. Other symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain with intercourse or bowel movements and for some, infertility. Diagnosis is currently based on surgical visualisation by laparoscopy. It involves placement of a fiber optic (lighted) scope into the abdomen. This is then followed by placement of small additional ports in the lower abdomen to allow placement of instruments for evaluation and treatment of endometriosis.

    endometriosis Basic Questions and Answers. by Robert B. Albee, MD. Although manywho visit this site know a great deal about endometriosis, many more do not.  
    http://www.centerforendo.com/QandA.htm
    
    Extractions: The medical definition of endometriosis is: Endometrium including both endometrial glands and stroma in an ectopic location. What that means is, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) that is found living outside the uterus, usually in the female pelvis. Both glands and stroma must be present for a diagnosis of endometriosis. In the vast majority of cases, endometriosis is found in the female pelvis. Specific locations of endometriosis (also known as lesions or implants) have been found on every pelvic organ, including the uterus, ovaries, tubes, ligaments, ureters, bowel, bladder, and other peritoneal surfaces. The location of the implants, the depth to which they penetrate the tissue they rest upon, and their overall size contribute to the unique nature of this disease. Although there are many differing opinions concerning aspects of endometriosis, one thing everyone agrees on is that every case of endometriosis is different from every other case. We may find similar cases, but none that are exactly alike.

27. CNN - Endometriosis And Sexuality - July 9, 1999
    http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/women/9907/09/sex.endometriosis/index.html
    
    Extractions: By Sandor Gardos, Ph.D. (WebMD) It is estimated that up to 10 million American women suffer from a chronic, painful condition known as endometriosis. This illness occurs when pieces of the normal lining of the uterus (the endometrium) "migrate" to other areas of the body most commonly, the pelvic region. Because the endometrium normally sheds during a woman's monthly menstrual cycle, internal bleeding, inflammation and pain usually result if this tissue locates itself in a part of the body that has no way of draining it. Although pain during or following intercourse is one of the most common reasons for women with this condition to see a doctor, the issue of how endometriosis affects sexuality is almost never discussed. This is especially troubling since almost all of the available treatments will also affect a woman's sexual functioning in one way or another.

    Extractions: Endometriosis (pronounced end-oh-mee- tree-oh-sis) is a condition where the cells that are normally found lining the uterus are also found in other areas of the body but usually within the pelvis. Each month this tissue outside of the uterus, under normal hormonal control, is built up and then breaks down and bleeds in the same way as the lining of the uterus. This internal bleeding into the pelvis, unlike a period, has no way of leaving the body. This leads to inflammation, pain and the formation of scar tissue. Endometrial tissue can also be found in the ovary where it can form cysts, called 'chocolate' cysts. You can also have endometrial tissue that grows in the muscle layer of the wall of the uterus. This is called adenomyosis. Each month this tissue within the muscle wall bleeds in the same way as the endometrial tissue in the pelvis bleeds. Adenomyosis can also be found in the muscle layer of the perineum - in the pouch of Douglas or cul de sac.

Surgical treatments include laparoscopic tuboplasty, lysis of adhesions, excision or laser vaporization of endometriosis, excision of ovarian cysts, electrocautery of polycystic ovaries, removal of hydrosalpinges, and myomectomy; hysteroscopic removal of polyps, fibroids, uterine septae or synechiae; abdominal myomectomy, and sterilization reversal performed via minilaparotomy or lapoaroscopy. Assisted reproductive technology options include in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo cryopreservation, donor oocytes and embyros, and microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration. Our delivery rate per embryo transfer for in vitro fertilization both with and without ICSI in 1999 was 48% for women under age 38. Our center was the first in western Oklahoma to achieve a pregnancy through blastocyst embryo transfer.

    Extractions: How do I cope with a disease that has no cure? See also: Endometriosis is a common disease that can affect any menstruating woman from the time of her first period to menopause . Sometimes, the disease can last after menopause. There is no cure for endometriosis and it can be hard for a health care provider to figure out if a woman has it. It can also be hard to figure out the best way to treat it if a woman has the disease. Endometriosis can affect a woman in many ways, such as her ability to work and have children, and her relationships with her partner, children, friends, and co-workers. Researchers are working to find out both causes and ways to manage this disease, so that women who have it can lead full lives. What is endometriosis?

Initially, we were recruiting families with two or more affected members. More recently, we began recruiting women with surgically confirmed endometriosis whether they had affected relatives or not. We are now no longer asking for new participants because of the extraordinarily good response that we have had. In the future, however, we may restart recruitment and it would be worthwhile revisiting this site late this year to receive up-to-date news about the study.
