Know more about Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inner layers of your uterus, grows outside of the uterus and in other parts around the pelvis. The outgrowths of tissue include in ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissue lining the pelvis. Rarely, tissue that resembles endometrium might be detected outside of the pelvic organs’ normal range. And this is called endometriosis interna which is another condition leading to adenomyosis. Endometriosis Treatment often involves a combination of medication, surgery, and lifestyle changes to manage pain and reduce the growth of abnormal tissue.

Each menstrual cycle causes the endometrial-like tissue in endometriosis to grow, degrade, and bleed like endometrial tissue would. However, this tissue becomes trapped inside the body and later, Cysts known as endometriomas may develop when endometriosis affects the ovaries. Adhesions as bands of fibrous tissue can cause pelvic tissues and organs to attach to one another. And this further aggravates pain and discomfort.

Signs and Symptoms of Endometriosis

Severe period pain (dysmenorrhea) : Before and for a few days after the period, pelvic pain and cramps are experienced and this is one of the most important symptoms of endometriosis. Additionally, lower back and stomach ache are also reported.

Dyspareunia (Painful intercourse): Endometriosis often causes pain during or after sex.

Painful micturition: Discomfort when urinating is most likely to occur during the menstrual period.

Heavy bleeding: You might occasionally have extremely heavy menstrual cycles or intermenstrual bleeding called metrorrhagia.

Infertility: When a person seeks therapy for infertility, endometriosis is occasionally discovered for the first time.

Additional symptoms and indicators: During menstrual periods, one can experience lethargy, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or nausea.

Diagnosis & Lab Investigation

Pelvic examination :

During a pelvic exam, your doctor feels (palpates) various areas of your pelvis to check for any abnormalities. Conditions like presence of cysts on your reproductive organs or presence scars behind your uterus are all tried to diagnose in a PV. Unless endometriosis has caused a cyst to form, it is frequently impossible to feel minor portions of the disease.

Other diagnostic techniques include:

USG
MRI
Laparoscopy
Hysterectomy

Ayurvedic Treatment for Endometriosis

Ayurveda corresponds to Endometriosis as Vatiki Yonivyapad. The typical characteristics of someone with vata prakriti include leanness, rough, dry skin, and curled, rough hair (the attributes are minimal for clarity).

Unhealthy lifestyle choices including drinking cold water or aerated drinks, going out on the town, being exposed to the cold, eating hot and cold foods at the same time, and having irregular eating hours all contribute to the growth of the vata dosha.

Diseases are inevitably brought on by this exacerbated vata dosha in the body and pain is vata dosha’s primary characteristic. This when reflected upon yonivyapad leads to pricking, stabbing, spasmodic, radiating pain.

The treatment measures include :

Vata alleviating therapies like Snehavasti, Uttarabasti, Snehapana, Vatahara aahara vihara seva (Vata pacifying diet and practices), Sudation as well as medicated milks are all recommended in the classics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risk factors of Endometriosis ?

You are more likely to get endometriosis if you are someone with:

● Nulliparity.

● Episodes of heavy bleeding that extend longer than seven days.

Can someone with endometriosis get pregnant ?

100%. If you have endometriosis, you can still have children. Patients who are already having difficulty getting pregnant are individuals we refer to as having infertility. The majority of people with endometriosis, or those who have that diagnosis and receive endometriosis treatment, are, nonetheless, able to become pregnant without any issues at all.

Is a hysterectomy necessary if one has endometriosis ?

Possibly not. Endometriosis consists of uterine lining-like cells that are developing outside of the uterus. Therefore, the uterus is not at all the problem, despite what hysterectomy is used to cure. In contrast, adenomyosis, a sister condition to endometriosis, affects 80–90% of patients concurrently, and in this case, the uterus itself may be a source of issues, including discomfort. So in such cases hysterectomy might become an option.
