ENDOMETRIOSE – How to cope / are you aware of this disease?
I was diagnosed Endometriose 4years ago. It was only after one year of wrong diagnoses and prejudicial medicine that doctors realized what was wrong – I had surgery but this disease lasts a lifetime.
Please share your experience here and let everybody know about endometriose, before it is too late – it can cause infertility.
It´s becoming a more and more common disease every day and even though science is so advanced, we can´t atribute a cause or find a cure?
Endometriose is a serious malfunction of the endometrio – womb cells, as I explain to my child: the so called baby bed that finally turns into menstruation thus cleaning the organism, grows in the wrong places, outside the womb, creating extremely painful infections in other areas of the female body (a patient friend had endometriose in a lung – cells can travel all over the body but endo is usually located close to the the genital area: ovaries, external womb,intestine.
Pls overcome and share your experience.

My mother had a complete hysterectomy when she was 32 because of endometriose, they had to remove a large section of her intestines it was so bad. She went into instant menopause. She has never been the same hormonally. I don’t know what the current treatment options are… but this is not a new disease. It has been a cause of infertility and great pain for decades. good luck
You are right. Endo is becoming more common all the time. Treatments are improving. Look on the internet for info. They also have support groups in larger cities and maybe on the internet also.
You will hear a lot of bad stuff but thier is also help and improvement in conditions.
I commend you on posting here to bring awareness to Endo. Keep up the great work.
One thing, however, Endometriosis IS NOT an infection of any kind. It is important not to confuse it with endometritis, which is.
It is also debatable that the natural endometrium (lining of the womb) is biologically of the same makeup as the endometrial fragments found within the Endometriosis implants.
Endometriosis has no cure, but it can be treated successfully for long-term relief via excision surgery by a specialist.

Keep up the good work.
