Toaff, MD, MSc What is Endometriosis What are the Common Symptoms of Endometriosis How is Endometriosis Diagnosed What is the Medical Treatment for Endometriosis ... What is the Surgical Treatment for Endometriosis What is Endometriosis Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue (tissue identical to the endometrium, the uterine lining) outside the uterus. Usually the endometriotic implants are located in the pelvis but endometriosis may also involve other parts of the abdominal cavity, the abdominal wall and, rarely, other locations such as the chest. The endometrial implants respond to ovarian hormonal changes in a fashion similar to the uterine endometrium. This results in local bleeding, irritation, inflammation, scarring and adhesion formation. In the ovaries, endometriosis may lead to the formation of cysts containing old blood (so-called chocolate cysts or endometriomas). These hormone-related changes are the basis for the symptoms of endometriosis. Approximately 19% of hysterectomies in the U.S. are performed because of endometriosis. Return to Top What are the Common Symptoms of Endometriosis Endometriosis may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. There is poor correlation between the extent of the disease and the degree of symptoms. Pain is the main symptom. It may be periodic, before or during the periods, or it may be constant. It may cause painful intercourse, pain in the middle of the pelvis or on either or both sides, or rectal pain. There may be irregular uterine bleeding. Infertility is frequently associated with endometriosis. The rate of progression of endometriosis is highly variable among patients; even in the same patient it may vary at different time periods.

Endometriosis Conquering the Silent Invader "When we had sex on our wedding night, instead of having an ultimate experience with my husband, sex was so painful I ended up in tears," Marilyn P. wrote to her Witsendo friends. "I thought something was wrong with me . . .that I was frigid or something. "When I went to the doctor, I told him I'd always had some pain with my periods but that my cramps were getting worse. "He did a pelvic exam and I screamed when he touched my left ovary. After doing an ultrasound examination, he told me that my left ovary was swollen to twice its normal size. He also felt small bumps behind my uterus. He recommended doing a laparoscopy to find out what was going on. "That's when I got the news: endometriosis at the ripe old age of twenty-three, and that I had probably had endometriosis as a teenager! What a way to start married life." What is it? Endometriosis is described as the presence of endometrial tissue in locations outside the endometrial (uterine) cavity. Endometriosis is commonly found in the cul-de-sac (behind the uterus), the rectovaginal septum (the tissue between the rectum and vagina), on the surface of the rectum, the fallopian tubes and ovaries, the uterosacral ligaments, the bladder, and the pelvic side wall. Generally endometriosis in the rectovaginal septum is more likely to deeply invade the underlying structures. Is endometriosis a genetic disease?

173. Disease Profile For Adenomyosis Cause, description, and treatment of adenomyosis (endometriosis interna), from Woman's Diagnostic Cyber. http://www.wdxcyber.com/dxppn011.htm

Home About us Articles Books ... Quizzes Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Disease Profile Name adenomyosis Synonyms endometriosis interna, uterine endometriosis, internal endometriosis General description Adenomyosis is the presence of endometrial glands and supporting tissues in the muscle of the uterus where it would not occur normally. When the gland tissue grows during the menstrual cycle and then at menses tries to slough, the old tissue and blood cannot escape the uterine muscle and flow out of the cervix as part of normal menses. This trapping of the blood and tissue causes uterine pain in the form of monthly menstrual cramps. It also produces abnormal uterine bleeding when some of the blood finally escapes the muscle resulting in prolonged spotting. It more often occurs in the posterior wall of the uterus. Is it common? The background incidence of adenomyosis in all women either with or without symptoms is not known precisely because only in recent years has MRI imaging been able to diagnose adenomyosis without doing a hysterectomy. In studies of chronic pelvic pain in which women had hysterectomies, the incidence of adenomyosis is about 15% to 25% ( ). It seems to be about the same incidence in hysterectomy specimens from women without pain as from women with pain so it is possible that this represents the background incidence.
