    Extractions: Endometriosis is a puzzling disease affecting women in their reproductive years. The name comes from the word "endometrium," which is the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus and builds up and sheds each month in the menstrual cycle. In endometriosis, tissue like the endometrium is found outside the uterus, in other areas of the body. In these locations outside the uterus, the endometrial tissue develops into what are called "nodules," "tumors," "lesions," "implants," or "growths." These growths can cause pain, infertility, and other problems. The most common locations of endometrial growths are in the abdomen-involving the ovaries , fallopian tubes, the ligaments supporting the uterus, the area between the vagina and the rectum , the outer surface of the uterus , and the lining of the pelvic cavity . Sometimes the growths are also found in abdominal surgery scars, on the intestines or in the rectum, on the bladder, vagina, cervix, and vulva (external genitals). Endometrial growths have also been found outside the abdomen, in the lung, arm, thigh, and other locations, but these are uncommon. Endometrial growths are generally not malignant or cancerous, they are a type of normal type of tissue outside the normal location. However, in recent decades there has been an increased frequency of malignancy occurring or being recognized in conjunction with endometriosis. Like the lining of the uterus, endometrial growths usually respond to the hormones of the menstrual cycle. They build up tissue each month, break down, and cause bleeding.

    http://www.centerforendo.com/QandA.htm
    
    Extractions: The medical definition of endometriosis is: Endometrium including both endometrial glands and stroma in an ectopic location. What that means is, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) that is found living outside the uterus, usually in the female pelvis. Both glands and stroma must be present for a diagnosis of endometriosis. In the vast majority of cases, endometriosis is found in the female pelvis. Specific locations of endometriosis (also known as lesions or implants) have been found on every pelvic organ, including the uterus, ovaries, tubes, ligaments, ureters, bowel, bladder, and other peritoneal surfaces. The location of the implants, the depth to which they penetrate the tissue they rest upon, and their overall size contribute to the unique nature of this disease. Although there are many differing opinions concerning aspects of endometriosis, one thing everyone agrees on is that every case of endometriosis is different from every other case. We may find similar cases, but none that are exactly alike.

    Extractions: Controversy still exists concerning the optimal treatment of endometriosis and their related pain and infertility. Surgical intervention has been the preferred mode of therapy. Multiple reasons for the surgical approach have been invoqued: a) it is the only way to make a histologic diagnosis b) the diagnosis is made and surgical therapy is easily accomplished simultaneously c) it allows the patient fast control of her symptoms e) it also increases conception rates without resorting to prolonged and expensive medical therapy (usually required for 6 months). Conservative surgical treatment is indicated in women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is a progressive, often debilitating disease that affects 10-35% of women during their reproductive years. Among gynecologic disorders, endometriosis is second only to leiomyomata in frequency and accounts for 25% of all laparotomies performed by gynecologists. Endometriosis may significantly impair health, quality of life, and fertility.

    Extractions: *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*..." Talk About It Endometriosis can be defined as a nonmalignant disorder in which functioning endometrial tissue is present outside the uterus . The incidence of this disease ranges from 10-15% in women between the ages of 25 and 44 who are actively menstruating, but it also occurs in teenagers. It is estimated that 25-50% of infertile women have this disease. The incidence is higher in first degree relatives of women with endometriosis, which suggests that heredity may play a role. In addition, there is also a higher prevalence of the disease in women who delay childbearing or who are of Asian descent. In women affected with endometriosis, endometrial tissue builds up in areas outside of the uterus - these areas are known as "ectopic implants". Ectopic implants may be found on the outside of the uterus, inside and outside the

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The cause of endometriosis is unknown. However, a number of theories have been proposed. The retrograde-menstruation theory proposes that endometrial cells (loosened during menstruation) may "back up" through the fallopian tubes into the pelvis, where they implant and grow in the pelvic and/or abdominal cavities. The immune-system theory suggests that a deficiency in the immune system allows menstrual tissue to implant and grow in areas other than the uterine lining. Another theory suggests that the cells lining the abdominal cavity may spontaneously develop endometriosis. A genetic theory proposes that certain families may exhibit predisposing factors that lead to endometriosis.

    The Center for endometriosis Care was founded to diagnose, treat, and educate women with endometriosis. Free literature and a quarterly newsletter are available.

    Extractions: Historically, medical textbooks teach that endometriosis looks like black powder burns. However, many studies have shown that black implants are not even the most common. Clear, white, red, yellow, blue and gray implants can also occur. A surgeon who looks only for black spots can miss significant disease. The CEC medical staff has many years and thousands of cases of experience in disease recognition. At the Center for Endometriosis Care, we consider any abnormal area of the peritoneum to be endometriosis until proven otherwise by pathology.

    Extractions: The OXEGENE study, based at the University of Oxford, is part of the International Endogene Study, a world-wide collaboration which aims to find genes responsible for causing endometriosis. Initially, we were recruiting families with two or more affected members. More recently, we began recruiting women with surgically confirmed endometriosis whether they had affected relatives or not. We are now no longer asking for new participants because of the extraordinarily good response that we have had. In the future, however, we may restart recruitment and it would be worthwhile revisiting this site late this year to receive up-to-date news about the study.

    Extractions: The Women's Surgery Group was originally formed by 13 Gynecologic surgeons located around the world who have exceptional skill and experience in laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic conditions. These gynecologists have expertise in a wide variety of gynecologic surgical procedures, ranging from reconstructive pelvic surgery for infertility to gynecologic cancer operations. This also includes virtually every gynecologic surgical procedure performed today. Collectively, the group has performed over 70,000 laparoscopic procedures and taught these techniques to thousands of gynecologists around the world. Every day, thousands of women undergo gynecologic surgery. Few have a clear understanding of their condition or the procedure itself. Many are unaware that their condition might be treated without surgery. If surgery is required, it can often be performed using laparoscopic techniques, leading to significantly shorter and more comfortable recovery. Most of these operations can be accomplished during outpatient or overnight stays. The physicians of the Women's Surgery Group have developed this site to inform and educate those with interests in women's health. Since beginning the site in 1997, we have continued to expand its content and scope. We hope you find the information helpful and informative.

    What is endometriosis? A Woman's Guide to endometriosis. by Caroline Naish Professor David Barlow. Causes and symptoms. What causes endometriosis?  
    http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/ndog/oxegene/endo.htm
    
    Extractions: This information is for women who would like to know more about endometriosis. It is not intended to be a definitive guide, but hopes to provide a basic understanding of the disease, its diagnosis and treatment. Endometriosis is one of the commonest problems in gynaecology. It was first described in 1869 and yet endometriosis remains a poorly understood disease of the female reproductive system. It affects women in the reproductive years and may cause pain and infertility. Some women with endometriosis are without symptoms, but others suffer with painful periods and pain during intercourse. These symptoms may occur alone, or in any combination and in varying degrees of severity. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb, the endometrium, is also found in places outside the womb, the uterus. It can be found on the ligament supports of the uterus and nearby organs such as the ovaries, bladder and bowel. It can sometimes also be found in more distant organs, such as the lungs or navel. Endometriosis can appear as spots or patches called implants, or as cysts on the ovary. In mild cases of endometriosis, there may only be a few isolated implants, while in others the disease may be present throughout the pelvis. Endometriosis irritates surrounding tissue and can produce web-like scar tissue known as adhesions. The scar tissue can bind any of the pelvic organs to one another and in severe cases cover them completely.

    Extractions: Home About the Book About the Author Buy the Book ... Links With the aging of baby boomers and the advancement of medical technology the hysterectomy is no longer considered a surgery of last resort. Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of this life-altering surgery, second only to the Caesarian Section. It was during the author's own recovery that the idea of a book was first conceived and Bearing the Big H was born. This lighthearted, humorous book gives a preoperative to postoperative account of the hysterectomy experience. Through chapters entitled Barren Bound , and Hystery in the Making , readers will gain insight into the emotional, physical and mental aspects of surgery as well as living a life hampered with endometriosis. But the story doesn't end there. If laughter is truly the best medicine, then this 200 page book is not only informative but has medicinal value as well.
