Know More About Endometriosis and Tips To Treat It Effectively

What is Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a medical condition where the lining of the uterus grows outside it and causes pain in that area. This effects the ovaries, Fallopian tubes and lining of the pelvis. The endometrial lining acts normally when it is inside the lining of the uterus and bleeds every cycle.

Endometriosis

When it is outside the uterus lining then it has no way to exit the body and it becomes trapped and therefore forms cysts in the body. These cysts ranges from being normal to harmful for our body.

What Causes Endometriosis?

When menstrual blood enters into the pelvis and Fallopian tubes instead of leaving the body.
It is caused by surgical procedures like C-section and hysterectomy.
Due to immune system disorder, the endometrial continues to grow outside the lining of the uterus and it is not destroyed.
