Endometriosis - Understanding The Different Stages Of Endometriosis by planbwellness: 11:11am On Jul 25, 2014
Endometriosis is a common female reproductive system issue that affects 24 to 50% of women who experience infertility. These women develop tissues outside of the uterus on other reproductive organs in the abdominal cavity that looks and acts like endometrial tissue. This misplaced endometrial tissue grows and sheds in response to the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle resulting in internal bleeding and the tissue attaching to other organs that share the abdominal cavity with the uterus.

There are theories about the causes of endometriosis. However, there is no conclusive evidence. These theories range from – tissue backing up into the fallopian tubes during menstruation which is referred to as “reverse menstruation” (it then attaches to other organs in the lower abdomen and grows) – to having predisposing genetic factors to the disease and the possibility that the immune system may activate cells to secrete factors which stimulate endometriosis growth.

What is known is that estrogen, namely an excess of it, fuels endometriosis and it is critical to explore ways to reduce your exposure to excess estrogens and chemicals called xenohormones that have a negative impact on the body’s ability to balance hormones naturally.

[center][/center]The Progression of Endometriosis

Endometriosis is classified into one of four stages depending on location, size, degree to which it has spread, and depth of endometriosis implants; presence and severity of adhesions or bands of scar-like tissue that attaches to organs outside of the uterus; and the presence and size of endometrial tissue growths or cysts on the ovaries. While the presence and severity of symptoms will differ for each woman with endometriosis, below is a general description of each and ways in which you might support yourself through these symptoms.
First and foremost, it is wise to learn and implement some of the most effective diet and lifestyle changes to support the body in dealing with endometriosis.


The Four Stages of Endometriosis

Stage I or minimal – is characterized by a few isolated endometrial implants outside of the uterus and a minimal number of mild adhesions, if any.

Stage II or mild – is characterized by more and slightly deeper implants less than 5 cm in total and a minimal number of mild adhesions.

Stage III or moderate – is characterized by many deep implants, small endometriomas or cysts on one or both ovaries, and some filmy adhesions or scars.

Stage IV or severe – is characterized by multiple deep implants, large endometriomas or cysts (chocolate cysts) on either or both ovaries, and multiple dense (thick) adhesions often involving other organs.

A Natural Endometriosis Support Plan May Include:
• Relaxation techniques and exercise
• Dietary and lifestyle changes to support pain, reduce inflammation response and promote estrogen metabolism
• Herbal pain and inflammation support
• Support for reducing excess estrogen
• Supplementation for hormone balance
• Reducing adhesions and future growth
