Ayurvedic Treatment for Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a painful condition in which the endometrium grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis involves ovaries, pelvis lining, and fallopian tubes. The endometrial tissue gets thickened, bleeds, & breakdown down during the menstrual cycle leading to endometriosis. As these displaced tissues have no place to exit it gets lodged in the body leading to endometriosis and further leading to cysts. Endometriosis is seen usually seen in women between the age of 30 to 40 years, with positive family history, medical history of uterine abnormalities, reproductive tract abnormalities, pelvic infection, reduced menstrual cycle or increase of menstrual days, lack of exercise, alcohol or caffeine consumption, infertility or early menarche.


Causes

The exact cause of endometriosis is not known but there are different theories laid down during puberty the estrogen hormones transform embryonic cells which implant as endometrial cells.
 
In retrograde menstruation, the blood containing endometrial cells flows back through fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity which gets attached to the pelvic walls and surface of pelvis organs. The endometrial cells are transferred to other parts of the body through tissue fluid or blood vessels. The endometrial tissues that are growing outside the uterus are destroyed by a weak immune system.
