What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) starts growing outside the uterus. These tissue growths can appear on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. Although it behaves like the uterine lining by thickening and shedding during menstruation, it has no way to exit the body, leading to pain, inflammation, and possible fertility issues.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
The symptoms of endometriosis can vary in severity. Some women may experience intense pain, while others may not have any symptoms at all. Common signs include:
- Pelvic pain, especially during menstruation
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Pain during bowel movements or urination
- Fatigue, bloating, or nausea
- Difficulty conceiving (infertility)
Why Does Endometriosis Occur?
The exact cause of endometriosis is not fully understood, but several theories exist:
Retrograde Menstruation :
Menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, instead of leaving the body.
Genetics :
A family history of endometriosis increases the risk of developing the condition.
Immune System Disorders :
A weakened immune system may fail to destroy endometrial-like cells outside the uterus.
Hormonal Imbalances :
Estrogen may promote the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
