C HINAROSE'S E NDOMETRIOSIS A WARENESS S ITE Click on picture to see my "Secret Homepage" Endometriosis is a disease which affects 5 million women worldwide. Although it attacks the reproductive system, it can spread throughout the body including the lungs and even the brain. It was once thought to be a "white working woman's disease," but current research shows that it can strike women of all ethnicity's and financial backgrounds in their child bearing years. The endometriomas are the tissues, which lines the inside of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is a disease state in which some of this tissue has spread elsewhere, such as the ovaries, or elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. Endometriosis causes pain in some women and can also cause infertility. I am doing my best to put more time into this site, for the purpose of bringing awareness to this insidious woman's disease. Too little is known about this, and women have suffer pelvic pain for far too long. Many lives have been turned upside down and affected so adversely due to ignorance and lack of public awareness. Doctors and nurses are still being taught that this "is part of being a woman" ... that's an old myth. It is unfortunate that this ignorance in both the public and medical field is leaving many women living with severe pelvic pain, other related disorders and infertile lives.

62. ESHRE Guideline For The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Endometriosis ESHRE guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, developed by the ESHRE special interest group on endometriosis. http://guidelines.endometriosis.org/

ESHRE Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Endometriosis Japanese Translation ESHRE guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis The aim of this guideline is to provide clinicians with up-to-date information about the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, based upon the best available evidence. This guideline, which is reviewed annually, was last updated on 30 June 2007. Objective The objective was to develop recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis and its associated symptoms. Design A working group was convened comprised of practising gynaecologists and experts in evidence-based medicine from Europe, as well as an endometriosis self-help group representative. After reviewing exisiting evidence-based guidelines and systematic reviews, the expert panel met on three occasions for a day during which the guideline was developed and refined. Recommendations based soley on the clinical experience of the panel were avoided as much as possible. The entire ESHRE Special Interest Group for endometriosis and endometrium was given the opportunity to comment on the draft guideline, after which it was available for comment on the ESHRE website for 3 months. The working group then ratified the guideline by unanimous or near-unanimous voting; finally, it was approved by the ESHRE Executive Committee.

63. ANTIDOTE FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS NATURALLY WITHOUT SURGERY endometriosis Cured or Greatly Improved in most of the Cases Dr. Lee Has Treated with progesterone. http://www.endo101.com/

var sc_project=3460943; var sc_invisible=0; var sc_partition=38; var sc_security="cdce206c"; by Elizabeth Smith, M.D. A True Help for Endometriosis Mainstream physicians readily acknowledge that pregnancy retards endometriosis and in some cases cures endometriosis. Mainstream medicine also acknowledges that menopause cures endometriosis. Now, the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) has approved Natural Progesterone for endometrial (uterine lining) hyperplasia (proliferation). Many mainstream physicians are now using natural progesterone to fool the body into thinking it is pregnant ("pseudopregnancy") and stop endometriosis. Endometriosis is simply uterus innner lining (endometrium) that has ended up where it should not be. The endometrial cells (uterine inner lining) end up in the abdominal cavity next to the intestines, fallopian tubes, or on the ovary, and cycle through a menstrual period there causing endometriosis. What is it about pregnancy that cures endometriosis?

Resources document.getElementById(res).className = "curr"; Description An in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of endometriosis Alternative Names Hysterectomy Complications Endometriosis is a chronic disease that is difficult to diagnose and to treat. Without treatment, endometriosis gets progressively worse in 65% to 80% of patients. Even with treatment, endometriosis continues to advance in 20% of patients. Cysts and implants may grow and spread to other parts of the pelvis, and in very severe cases, to the urinary or intestinal tracts. Eventually adhesions may form. These are dense, web-like structures of scar tissue that can attach to nearby organs and cause pain, infertility, and intestinal obstruction. Pain The most common problem for women with endometriosis is pain, which can significantly impair the quality of life. The pain experienced around menstruation can be so debilitating that up to 25% of women with the condition can be incapacitated for two to six days of each month. In severe cases, regular activities may be curtailed for up to two weeks per month. Sleeping problems have been reported in three quarters of patients, mostly due to pain. Infertility The medical literature indicates that endometriosis may account for as many as 30% of infertility cases. Some evidence suggests that between 30% and 50% of women with endometriosis are infertile. Often, however, it is difficult to determine if endometriosis is the primary cause of infertility, particularly in women have mild endometriosis. In an attempt to determine the chances for infertility with endometriosis, researchers have come up with a staging system based on findings during diagnostic surgery.

Patients that use our system claim that they have had better outcomes than conventional surgery or prescription medicines. Part one of our system consists of taking Natural Progesterone. John Lee, MD, an American Norwegian who practiced in California, used Natural Progesterone in his clinical practice as a natural remedy to treat endometriosis with great success for several decades. Part two of our system is to avoid chemicals that cause endometriosis. Prior to 1921, there were only twenty reports of endometriosis in the worldwide medical literature. Now, in the USA, 1 out of 20 women have endometriosis. Chemicals that mimic estrogen (xenoestrogens) seem to be the cause of endometriosis. There are 85,000 chemicals in use in the USA, and some of these chemicals have hormonal effects that provoke endometriosis. Our 2 Part System 1.

67. What Is Endometriosis? endometriosis is a common and chronic gynecological and immunological disease. http://www.inletmedical.org/endometriosis.asp

Conditions Symptoms Procedures Find a Doctor ... Conditions What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a common and chronic gynecological and immunological disease that can result in pelvic pain. About 2-4% of women and girls of reproductive age and up to 30% of women with infertility have endometriosis. That amounts to approximately 5.5 million women in the United States and Canada. The disease occurs when endometrial cells (the cells that line the inside of the uterus) develop outside of their normal location inside the uterus. The misplaced endometrial cells respond to the menstrual cycle in the same way as those lining the uterus. The tissue grows and sheds blood at the time of menses. However, instead of flowing out of body through the vagina, the blood shed by the misplaced cells has no way of leaving the body. The resulting internal bleeding can lead to chronic inflammation and the formation of adhesions and scar tissue. Location of Endometriosis Areas commonly affected by endometriosis include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the ligaments that support the uterus, the area between the vagina and rectum (cul-de-sac), the outer surface of the uterus and the lining of the pelvic cavity. Endometrial lesions can also be found in the bladder, bowel, vagina, cervix and vulva. More rarely the lung and other body tissues can be affected. The frequency that endometriosis is found to occur in the pelvic area is: Cul-de-sac - 72% Uterosacral ligaments - 41% right and 45% left

Health Risk Assessments Medication Card Medication Checklist showLayer('mainNav'); Search Conditions Treatment Options Endometriosis How is it treated? The severity of the disease, the woman's history of infertility, the intensity of her desire for pregnancy, and her age all play a role in determining what type of treatment is chosen. A complete hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) is the treatment of choice in women who are past their reproductive age. Other surgeries, such as a laparoscopy (minor abdominal surgery) or laparotomy (major abdominal surgery), and fertility drugs, such as clomiphene, are used to restore fertility in women wishing to become pregnant. The goals of surgery are to relieve symptoms, restore fertility, remove endometrial lesions if possible, and to delay recurrence of the disease. Hormone treatment is popular as an alternative to surgery; however, hormones are not proven to be effective in treating endometriosis but may help to prevent further growth of endometriosis. Many women have found symptom relief from combination therapy with estrogen and progesterone. Other medications available include danazol or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Doctors sometimes prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, such as ibuprofen, to relieve pain associated with contraction of the uterus during menstruation.

MANAGING ENDOMETRIOSIS Early Diagnosis: Laparoscopy Laparoscopy is a brief, common, and relatively simple procedure that has been used to diagnose endometriosis for over 20 years. With the laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube inserted in your abdomen, your doctor can look directly into your pelvic cavity to see whether you have endometriosis, and, if you do, how severe it is. The severity of your disease, though, may not match the pain you feel; mild endometriosis can cause extreme pain. Because it's a safe technique, laparoscopy may be used more than once during your lifetime (called repeat laparoscopy). In some cases, your doctor may remove small implants during your laparoscopy (this is called surgical laparoscopy). YOUR EXPERIENCE Laparoscopy can be done either in a hospital or out-patient clinic. You may be given a mild sedative to help you relax before the procedure. Once in the operating room, you'll be given a general anesthesia (unless you and your doctor choose a different anesthetic). After laparoscopy, which usually lasts less than an hour, you'll be monitored in a recovery area for several hours. Once home, it takes two to three days to recover fully (or longer if you've had surgical laparoscopy). RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS For all the benefits of laparoscopy, it has relatively few risks. Your doctor will discuss the risks (such as bleeding, infection, and anesthetic side effects) with you before the procedure.

The growths are commonly referred to as "endometrial implants." Endometriosis affects 10% to 15% of women and is a chronic, sometimes painful condition that can lead to infertility. Causes of endometriosis are unknown. Diagnosis of endometriosis usually involves a laparoscopy , a complete medical history, a physical examination, and other tests. Treatment typically involves medication and/or surgery. Endometrial implants typically inset in other parts of the reproductive tract, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the inside lining of the abdominal cavity, and the outside surfaces of the uterus or intestines. They can also occur in other parts of the body, including the liver, legs, lungs, and rarely, the brain. The implants are not malignant (cancerous), but the disease may be progressive and
