What Is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen dependent disease that can cause incapacitating pain, organ failure, infertility, and other severe medical consequences if not adequately treated. How Common Is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is fairly common, affecting an estimated 10%-15% of women and girls, usually during their reproductive years. Where Does Endometriosis Grow? Endometriosis has been found in every organ and anatomical structure in the body except the spleen. However, the lower abdominal cavity (pelvic cavity).While less common, endometriosis can also grow in other areas, including on blood vessels, the cervix, diaphragm, lungs, nerves, ureters, vagina, and inside of cesarean or other surgical scars.Rare cases of endometriosis. Although exceedingly rare, endometriosis can even invade other vital organs and structures . Why Is It Often So Painful? Unlike normal endometrial cells found in the lining of the uterus, these errant endometriotic growths do not get expelled from your body each month as a period. Instead, they implant and begin reacting to the monthly hormones that trigger menstruation, causing them to bleed and shed and grow, month after month and year after year if left untreated. Although these endometriotic growths are benign (not cancer), it appears that the body still recognizes that they shouldn't be growing outside of the uterus, and therefore usually launches an inflammatory response in order to try to destroy them. As a result, the affected areas become extremely inflamed and therefore potentially extremely painful. Is there a permanent cure for endometriosis? Surgery does not cure endometriosis; lasers do not cure endometriosis; pregnancy does not cure endometriosis; hysterectomy does not cure endometriosis; menopause does not cure endometriosis; birth control pills do not cure endometriosis; dietary changes do not cure endometriosis. There is no cure for endometriosis. Altius Hospital # 6/63, 59th Cross, 4th Block, Rajajinagar Entrance, Opp. MEI Polytechnic, Near Ram Mandir, Bangalore - 560 010 Karnataka State, INDIA.
