Endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial cells that line the uterus beyond. The disease can occur without symptoms and is found during routine gynecological examination, the patient suddenly. The earlier treatment is started at the woman, the greater the chances of a favorable outcome of therapy.

The causes of endometriosis

Why endometrium can grow and take root outside the uterus, it is not fully understood. In healthy women, at the exit of cells outside the immune system prevent its escalation, as they are perceived alien to other organs. Often the disease is caused by the occurrence of direct 2 or 3 causes.

That provokes the development of endometriosis:

1. A weakened immune system. In this case, even a normal delivery can be the beginning of the disease. The immune system will not reject the foreign cells of the organ.
2. Hereditary factor. Deviation from the norm state of the organism can cause endometriosis development.
3. Surgery (abortion, cesarean section, erosion removal).
4. Hormonal failure in the body. In this case, the uterus can increase mucous production rate, it is produced in excess and it goes beyond the limits of the body.
5. Inflammatory processes in the reproductive organs and tumors.
6. Infections in the urogenital system and sexually transmitted diseases.
7. Wearing a long spiral or incorrectness of its installation.
8. Poor environment in the region. The organism is strongly poisoned by toxins, and can not cope with the development of many diseases.
9. Iron deficiency.
10. The presence of obesity and diabetes.
11. Lack of regular sexual life and late childbirth. At this time, the tone and the normal state of the uterus weakened.
12. Severe fatigue and stressful situations.

Often the cause of the disease are women themselves, not observing the methods of contraception, which leads to frequent abortions. And a rare visit to the gynecologist, can cause overflow of the disease to more serious stages (at the beginning of its development, the disease has no symptoms and is found only in an armchair at the doctor).

classification of diseases

Endometriosis can affect not only the reproductive organs. They, in turn, may be in varying degrees of destruction of endometrial cells. Therefore, the disease is classified according to the place of cell localization and organ damage depth.

At the place of localization of endometriosis:

1. Only affects the reproductive organs (genital)

• the uterine cavity;
• Cervix;
• vagina;
• the fallopian tubes;
• the ovaries.

2. Affects located near bodies (extragenital):

• the umbilical region;
• intestines;
• lungs;
• bladder;
• adipose tissue between the vagina and the rectum.

Localization on the reproductive organs:

• Endometrium affects the ovary, peritoneum of the pelvis and fallopian tubes.
• Endometrial spread to other organs of the reproductive system.
• uterine defeat.

According to the depth of the uterine lesions:

1. A small number of entities.
2. Endometrial penetrates half the muscle layer of the uterine wall.
3. Struck whole muscle layer.
4. Endometrium beyond the uterus into the peritoneum.

In depth organ damage:

1. Outbreaks occupy a small part of the surface of the affected organ.
2. An increasing number of foci and their depth of penetration.
3. Body almost completely amazed.
4. When the 3rd degree is observed in several organs.

The most severe form of the disease is the fourth degree of damage as the reproductive organs and surrounding. Remove the formation in this case is extremely difficult. Treatment takes place surgically. Often, the forced removal of some organs (uterus, ovary). What causes female infertility.

Common symptoms of endometriosis

Endometriosis (the symptoms and treatment of women is closely linked with where the disease was localized and in what form occurs) at the initial stage has no symptoms. Even in the examination, the gynecologist disease can not always be detected. Detailed report may be obtained with a more complete diagnosis.

How can you identify a disease before the survey:

Symptom	Characteristic	notes
Pain	It is localized in the abdomen. The feeling is not strong and may be present constantly. Before the start of menstruation pain intensified.

4. Laparoscopy It gives a result with an accuracy of 97% to establish a diagnosis, a detection chamber and the degree of localization. Procedure is performed by a puncture of the peritoneum. This makes it possible to consider the state bodies. If it is found the small center, it is possible to remove it immediately.
5. Hysteroscopy. It helps fully consider the state of the uterus.
6. Hysterosalpingography. Use of contrast fluid verified fallopian tubes. If localized ovarian endometriosis or pipes, it explores the lesion organ.
7. To more accurately determine the size and location of the endometrium can be assigned MRI or CT scan.
8. To exclude the development of cancer cells is assigned to surrender blood tests for tumor markers.
9. If endometriosis is extended not only to the reproductive organs, it is necessary to pass inspection and other specialists, Depending on which body is subjected to the disease.

The full survey will identify the disease even at an early stage. In this case, the disease is easily treatable without complications. Urgent appeal to a gynecologist should be at frequent and sharp pains in the abdomen with accompanying fever or headaches.

complications

Zapuskaniya endometriosis and delayed treatment of dangerous complications. In some cases, the consequences may be irreversible. Endometrial cells can severely damage the organ in which they are accustomed.

3. Menstrual disorders. Spin may begin chaotically and will present a strong bleeding with clots is not inherent to the normal menstruation.
4. Reducing the amount of hemoglobin in the blood (Due to frequent and heavy blood loss). Lack of iron will adversely affect the functioning of all the organs, will present constant tiredness and fatigue.
5. The strong growth of the endometrium in the last stage can cause organ rupture, the risk of bleeding, and fatal peritonitis.
6. Violation of defecation process with intestinal obstruction. As well as frequent urination, urinary incontinence.
7. Degeneration of endometrial cells to a malignant tumor.
8. Hormonal disordersDue to malfunctioning of the ovaries.
