Endometriosis Q&A
What is endometriosis?
The endometrium is the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus. Endometriosis occurs when tissue like the endometrium
grows outside your uterus. Just like healthy endometrium tissue, it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with each menstrual
cycle. However, this tissue has no way to exit the body, and it becomes trapped.
Endometriosis is often painful, especially during menstrual periods. When it involves the ovaries, it can cause scar tissue
and adhesions, which causes organs and pelvic tissue to stick to each other.
The team at Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC treat endometriosis using a combination of conventional
medicines and alternative therapies.
What are symptoms of endometriosis?
A common sign of endometriosis is pelvic pain. However, it’s often accompanied by other symptoms, including:
- Fertility issues
- Heavy bleeding during and between periods
- Lower abdominal and back pain
- Pain during and after intercourse
- Painful, often excruciating, periods
- Severe cramping
- Uncomfortable bowel movements
Meanwhile, some people have no symptoms at all. It’s important you schedule annual gynecological exams with your provider.
What causes endometriosis?
There’s no one cause of endometriosis, but medical professionals explore several explanations, including:
Surgical scarring
After a uterine surgery, like a hysterectomy or C-section, endometrial cells can attach to the scarring from the incision.
Autoimmune disease
Immune system disorders prevent the body from recognizing and destroying endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus.
Retrograde menstruation
In retrograde menstruation, menstrual blood containing endometrial cells flows into the pelvic cavity instead of leaving
the body. The endometrial cells stick to the pelvic walls and organs, where they thicken and bleed every menstrual cycle,
making the condition worse.
Endometrial cell transport
Blood vessels and the lymphatic system can carry endometrial cells to other parts of the body where they stick to tissues
and organs.
The providers at Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC identify why you have developed endometriosis,
and aim to treat it and prevent it from happening again.
How do you treat endometriosis?
Your provider recommends treatment depending on how advanced your condition is and whether you hope to become pregnant.
It can include:
- Pain medication
- Hormone therapy
- Conservative surgery (preserving the uterus and ovaries)
- Fertility treatments
- Hysterectomy
- Home remedies
- Alternative medicines
