In addition to cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer, endometriosis is also a disease that attacks the human reproductive system in women.

Endometriosis is a disease of the female reproductive system because endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. Under normal circumstances, the endometrium is found only in the lining of the uterus. Endometriosis can be lowered and is more common in first-degree (mother, daughter, sister). Other factors that increase the risk of endometriosis is to have an abnormal uterus, first gave birth at the age of 30 years, and whites.

Endometriosis can cause the following:

• Pain in the lower abdomen and pelvic area
• Irregular periods
• Infertility

Endometriosis can be treated in several ways, depending on the degree of illness. Treatment options for endometriosis include:

1. Drugs that suppress ovarian activity and slow the growth of endometrial tissue.
2. Surgery to remove as much as possible endometriosis.
3. The combination of drugs and surgery.
4. Hysterectomy, often accompanied by the removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Endometriosis is associated with inflammation of the hormone estradiol/estrogen form that accompanied the growth of endometrial tissue propagation of blood vessels, to stand out of the uterus (ectopic growth) and cause pelvic pain. Endometriosis is said to be associated with estrogen causes development and simtoma generated will be lost over the coming menopause, therefore, the most common treatment for patients with inflammation of this is the use of hormonal therapy that induces a hypoestrogenic condition. Estrogens are a group of steroid hormones secreted by the ovary after stimulated FSH and/or LH secreted by the pituitary gland. Further secretion of FSH and LH is inhibited by GnRH hormone secreted by the hypothalamus.

Once the cyst endometriosis has been fully formed, appears simtoma vaginal hyperalgesia accompanied by abdominal muscle hyperalgesia. Tissue around the cyst will secrete a variety of cytokines include IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10, TNF-α, growth factors such as VEGF and NGF.

Endometriosis is usually confined to the surface layer of the abdominal cavity or abdominal organs. Misplaced endometrium is usually attached to the ovaries (ovarian) and ancillary uterine ligaments. The endometrium can also attach to the outer layer of the small intestine and large intestine, ureter (tube that connects the kidney to the bladder), bladder, vagina, scar tissue in the abdomen or chest cavity lining. Sometimes endometrial tissue grows in the lungs.

Endometriosis can be lowered and is more common in first-degree (mother, daughter, sister). Other factors that increase the risk of endometriosis is to have an abnormal uterus, first gave birth at the age of 30 years old and white.

Endometriosis is estimated to occur in 10-15% of infertile women aged 25-44 years, 25-50 % of women are infertile and can also occur in adolescence. Severe endometriosis can cause infertility due to blocked her eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. Advertisement
