When to Seek Medical Advice
What Causes Endometriosis?
The exact cause of Endometriosis is not fully understood, but several factors may contribute, including:
-
Retrograde Menstruation: Menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, where endometrial cells implant.
-
Hormonal Imbalances: Estrogen can promote the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
-
Genetic Factors: Endometriosis may run in families, increasing the likelihood of developing it.
-
Immune System Issues: A faulty immune response may fail to clear misplaced endometrial tissue.
These factors can lead to inflammation, scarring, and adhesions, causing pain and other complications.
Pain Medication
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen to manage pain and inflammation.
Birth control pills, hormonal IUDs, GnRH agonists, or progestins to reduce estrogen levels and slow endometrial tissue growth.
Hormonal Therapy
Lifestyle Support
Dietary changes, regular exercise, stress management, and pelvic physical therapy to improve symptoms.
Surgical Intervention
Laparoscopy to remove endometrial tissue or adhesions, often used for diagnosis and treatment in severe cases.
