This site is dedicated to my fellow Endo-Sisters, their friends, family and significant others. In hope that this will help bring more awareness to this debilitating disease and avail to all who suffer from this disease, information, treatments and options so they can seek the proper care. Although it attacks the reproductive system, it can spread throughout the body including the lungs and even the brain. The endometriomas is the tissue that lines the inside tissue 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.
However, even the tiniest implant can cause incapacitating pain if it irritates a nearby nerve. Some women with allot of disease may experience no pain. Larger implants can become locally invasive as they respond to hormone stimulation. The tissue surrounding the implant can begin to break down and bleed. But if active endometriosis becomes trapped beneath adhesions, enormous pain and pressure can result.
