Endometriosis (from endo, “inside”, and metra, “womb“) is a gynecological medical condition in which cells from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) appear and flourish outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the ovaries. The uterine cavity is lined by endometrial cells, which are under the influence of female hormones.
These endometrial-like cells in areas outside the uterus (endometriosis) are influenced by hormonal changes and respond in a way that is similar to the cells found inside the uterus. Symptoms often worsen with the menstrual cycle. It is estimate that 5 to 7 millions woman suffer from endometriosis.
Symptoms of endometriosis are pain from cramps much like period pain, including painful or heavy periods, pain during intercourse, pelvic pain, infertility and low backache. In some cases the condition may not even be noticeable, or so severe that it can cause infertility, From a medical point of view, The Association of Endometriosis say woman who develp this condition have a history of vaginal yeast infection, hay fever, eczema, and food sensitives than most woman. , Causes are not fully known but it may be from an immune dysfunction where endometriosis develops in women unable to fight off the endometriosis cells. Hereditary factors play a role. It is well recognized that female relations with endometriosis are at higher risk of developing endometriosis as well.
EMOTIONAL TAKE: I need to talk to you about other reasons why we as woman get these dis-ease in our body, from a emotional point of view.

Why does endometriosis cause infertility?
Endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity remains hormonally receptive and active. As women experience menstrual periods, the endometrial tissue, commonly referred to as implants grows, secretes fluid, and often causes inflammation and the development of scar tissue. Scar tissue development can interfere with pregnancy by limiting the mobility of the pelvic structures such as the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Endometriosis can damage one or both fallopian tubes due scar tissue formation or the deposition of endometrial implants on or near the fallopian tubes. Endometriotic implants, inflammation, and scar tissue formation also often cause pelvic pain and painful menstrual periods. Technically, endometriosis is diagnosed using a microscope (laparoscopy) by a pathologist after examining a small tissue biopsy obtained by your doctor during surgery. However, many patients do not undergo surgery or do not have a biopsy performed. In general, endometriosis is diagnosed by surgical visualization and evaluation of your pelvis; surgery also allows your doctor to attempt to “treat” endometriosis at the time of surgery. Although endometriosis has a variable appearance, it is often dark and is often described as having the appearance of gunpowder (picture, right) in medical textbooks. Occasionally, endometriosis will cause the development of a cyst filled with endometrial tissue on or within the ovary referred to as an endometrioma (picture, below).
