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.

However, some experts believe the true figure is probably much higher. What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis occurs when the tissue which lines the uterus - the endometrium - is found elsewhere in the body. This can be in the abdomen, on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, bowel, vagina, cervix or vulva. Less commonly endometrial growths may also be found in the lung, arm or thigh. In the uterus, endometrial tissue builds up during the menstrual cycle, and then breaks down and sheds off during a period. This keeps the lining of the uterus healthy and ready to nourish a developing foetus. However, the when the tissue acts in the same way outside the uterus it can cause problems. Menstrual blood can be easily shed from the uterus, not from elsewhere in the body. This can result in internal bleeding and inflammation.

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?

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. Once symptoms appear, endometriosis is often misdiagnosed as other conditions such as IBS cystitis or pelvic inflammatory disease Endometriosis: Endometriosis is another benign condition that affects the uterus. 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.

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
