Endometriosis is a health problem where the cells from the
lining of the uterus called the endometrium grow other places within the abdominal
area. It has these
symptoms: pain in the uterus, lower back pain, and pain
in the organs in the pelvic area, off and on pain during menstrual
cycles, painful sexual intercourse, excessive bleeding and passing of
large clots and tissue during the menstruation, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and infertility. Because
menstruation is normally heavy, anemia is
often also a problem.
Women with cycles shorter than 27 days and those with periods lasting
over a week are at increased risk of anemia. Endometriosis is a
condition that can be passed to daughters by the mother. Growths of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine
cavity occur most often around the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the urinary bladder, the bowel, the pelvic floor,
and/or the pentoneum which is the membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity, and
within the uterine muscles. The most common area of endometriosis is
probably the deep pelvic
peritoneal cavity, known as the "cul-de-sac". The
chances of endometrial problems outside the body's pelvic area is not
as common. ...more

During a woman's normal menstrual cycle, an always changing hormone environment stimulates the endometrium to grow
to prepare for a possible pregnancy. This same cycle
causes a follicle within one of the ovaries to ripen, and an egg is
then released. The fingerlike tissues on the fallopian
tube clasp the egg, and the small hair like cilia inside the tube
transport the egg toward the uterus, the lining of which is now spongy and
well supplied with blood. If the egg is not fertilized within
24 hours, the uterine lining starts to die and be sloughed off, passing through the vagina during
the woman's menstruation.
They
are not inside the uterus, but the abnormal implants of endometriosis also
respond to the hormonal changes that control menstruation. Just
like the uterine lining, they also build tissue every month, then break down and bleed.
However, unlike blood from the uterine lining, the blood
from the implants does not have a way to leave the person's body. So it
is absorbed by surrounding
tissue, and is a somewhat slow process.
Meanwhile, the blood will accumulate in available body cavities. This
entire sequence, from bleeding through absorption, may be very painful.
As
the menstrual cycle goes month after month, these implants may
start to get bigger and bigger. They may also seed new implants and form
local
scar tissue and adhesion scar tissue that attaches to pelvic organs and
can bind them together. Of course, this adds to the pain of endometriosis, and it may cause extreme pain in pregnancy later on, as the uterus
enlarges and the organs in the woman's abdomen are pushed into different positions. Sometimes blood collects
and a sac or cyst will form. Endometrial also called “chocolate
cysts” are common on the ovaries. They are normally
found to contain moderate amounts of oxidized blood, which looks sort
of like
chocolate syrup thus the name. If one of these cysts breaks, it can cause
very severe pain.
