var DOCUMENTGROUP='error'; var DOCUMENTNAME='error'; var ACTION='07'; Reasons for Hysterectomy Each year over 600,000 women in America have a hysterectomy, making it the second most common surgical procedure in the United States. In the case of cancer, hysterectomy may clearly be the preferred treatment option, but other conditions including fibroids, endometriosis and uterine prolapse offer alternative treatments that can be tried first. When considering hysterectomy women need to weigh the short-term benefits against the risks and costs. Women with the following diagnosis typically require a hysterectomy: Uterine cancer Ovarian cancer Fallopian tube cancer Cervical cancer Women with the following health problems may choose a hysterectomy: Abnormal vaginal bleeding Fibroids Adenomyosis Endometriosis Chronic pelvic pain Pelvis inflammatory disease Uterine prolapse Abnormal cell growth in the lining of the uterus or cervix Reasons for Hysterectomy Problem % of hysterectomies Vaginal bleeding Uterine fibroids Uterine prolapse 12% to 15% Endometriosis and adenomyosis 18% to 20% Chronic pelvic pain 12% to 18% Cancer of the cervix or uterus Source: Miller BA, et al.

Verify here Endometriosis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Q: I have endometriosis and now after 5 years, I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).  The doctor said I have some endometriosis on my bowel. How common is this for women? -R. Dr. Donnica: Endometriosis is relatively common, but commonly misunderstood.  It affects one in 15 women, or 5 million Americans! Four in 10 of these women will have infertility as a result. While endometriosis is marked by severe cramping before and during menses, some women don’t experience any symptoms. In most cases, women are not affected until they reach their twenties or thirties. What causes endometriosis?  Simply put, some of the lining cells of the womb flow backward into the pelvis and implant on other tissues, such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes.  Being estrogen sensitive, these implants react cyclically. They can grow and cause pain, abnormal bleeding, and tubal blockage.  There are many things we still don’t understand about endometriosis: what causes it, why the symptoms are not necessarily related to the size or location of the implants, or what can be done to prevent it. Endometriosis is also difficult to diagnose conclusively without a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy. A laparoscopy allows your doctor to look into your abdomen and pelvis with a lit tube through a small incision beneath your belly button.

Advertising Causes of infertility Endometriosis The term endometriosis refers to a benign and common disease in which cells like the ones that line the inside of the womb are established outside the womb e.g. on the ligament supporting the uterus. in the ovaries, tubes, pelvis, bowels, bladder, etc. In patients with endometriosis, these cells, like the endometrium, respond to the monthly hormonal changes. When the woman with endometriosis menstruates, the endometrium is shed in the form of a period, the endometriosis breaks down in the same way but because these cells are trapped inside, and cannot escape, they form swellings filled with dark blood (known as chocolate cysts) and adhesions which may damage the tubes.

The endometrium is the mucous membrane lining of the inner surface of the uterus. Each month, the endometrium grows and becomes engorged with blood, and then is shed during the menstrual period. What is endometriosis? When fragments of the endometrium develop in other places, such as in the muscular wall of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, or intestine, the condition is called endometriosis. Each month, these fragments (sometimes referred to as endometrial implants, lesions, nodules, or growths ) bleed just as endometrium does in the uterus, but the blood has no place to go. The blood becomes embedded in the tissue where it is located, forming blood blisters that may become surrounded by a fibrous cyst. The cause for this condition is not known. Where are endometrial implants found?

Home Issues Email alerts Classifieds ... Search PubMed for related articles Editorials Endometriosis Kevin L Forbes MJA Improving health outcomes for women with this enigmatic disease Endometriosis remains an enigma despite having been extensively studied. Its aetiology remains unclear, although there is a positive correlation with retrograde menstruation, probably with a background genetic predisposition. Traditionally, the symptoms of endometriosis are said to be pelvic pain and infertility, but, while a causal link between these symptoms and the disease is sometimes clear, the link is not always established. Treatment aimed at eliminating endometriotic deposits is effective in controlling symptoms in a proportion of patients, but recurrence is common. The diagnostic dilemma Endometriosis is considered difficult to diagnose because the extent of the disease (endometriotic deposits and scar tissue) does not correlate with symptoms. The only accepted diagnostic test is direct visualisation (usually laparoscopically) by an experienced surgeon. Arguably, as endometriosis can be diagnosed in up to 40% of menstruating women at laparoscopy

Endometriosis is a difficult condition to diagnose, often starting with no symptoms or only mild symptoms. Symptoms may include abdominal pain period pain heavy periods infertility , and many other symptoms of endometriosis . Symptoms are often cyclical because of the locations of the tissue and the displaced uterine tissue may also inappropriately respond to hormone cycles.

It is most common in women in their thirties and forties, especially in women who have never been pregnant. It occurs when endometrial tissue begins to grow on the outside of the uterus and on nearby organs.

University of Iowa Family Practice Handbook, Fourth Edition, Chapter 13 Gynecology: Endometriosis Alicia M. Weissman, MD Department of Family Medicine University of Iowa College of Medicine and Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa Peer Review Status: Externally Peer Reviewed by Mosby Definition . Endometriosis is the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside its normal location, most frequently on the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments, cul-de-sac, and occasionally uterovesical peritoneum. However, it may occur elsewhere including nasal mucosa, lung or even brain. It is estrogen-dependent and generally regresses after menopause or oophorectomy. Pathogenesis . Several factors may play a role including retrograde transport and implantation, metaplastic transformation of "coelomic" peritoneum, lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination, immunological defects, genetic predisposition. Evaluation History The most common symptoms associated with pelvic endometriosis are dysmenorrhea (66%), deep dyspareunia (33%), infertility (60%), and low back pain or chronic pelvic pain that worsens with menses. May have premenstrual spotting and menorrhagia. Dysmenorrhea often precedes menses and lasts throughout the period. Less common symptoms include dyschezia (painful defecation), diarrhea, intermittent constipation, cyclic abdominal pain, dysuria, urinary frequency and hematuria.

"Pain is the most common sypmtom of endometriosis and the reason most suffers go to their doctors. However, the extent of the pain doesn't seem to be dependent on how much endometriosis you have, but rather on where it is. For instance, a small number of cysts in an area that is disturbed during intercourse may be much more painful than a large number of elsewhere. Most sufferers also report that their pain seems to get worse during their period, although many other sufferers also report constant pain. Generally, however, if the pain comes and goes during your menstrual cycle, it's highly suggestive of endometriosis. There are five classic symptoms of endometriosis: Painful Periods (known as dysmenorrhea) Painful Intercourse (dyspareunia) Pelvic pain, including painful bowel movements and constipation
