Gene research gives hope for women with endometriosis
Gene research gives hope for women with endometriosis Researchers have identified two genetic variants that increase the risk of women developing endometriosis. The genomes of 5,500 women with the condition from the UK, US and Australia were compared to those of 10,000 healthy volunteers.

An endometriosis charity said more research was needed to show how this could lead to better treatments. Researchers from the University of Oxford, the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia and Harvard Medical School, Boston were all involved in the study.

The Idea Behind the Endometriosis Diet
The Idea Behind the Endometriosis Diet We need to understand the condition called endometriosis before you discuss the right diet for it.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis Endometriosis is the growth of cells similar to those that form the inside of the uterus (endometrial cells), but in a location outside of the uterus. Endometrial cells are the same cells that are shed each month during menstruation. The cells of endometriosis attach themselves to tissue outside the uterus and are called endometriosis implants. These implants are most commonly found on the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, outer surfaces of the uterus or intestines, and on the surface lining of the pelvic cavity. They can also be found in the vagina, cervix, and bladder, although less commonly than other…

Getting Pregnant with Endometriosis
Getting Pregnant with Endometriosis Many women face certain health challenges when getting pregnant with endometriosis. Usually occurring in women of childbearing age between 25 and 40, endometriosis can be a most trying physical condition.

IVF and Endometriosis
IVF and Endometriosis I get asked a number of questions about IVF and endometriosis and it is naturally a concern for couples who are having fertility problems and who are contemplating IVF. Endometriosis is a disorder of the womb, whereby the lining grows outside of the uterus, sometimes on the fallopian tubes, ovaries or the lining of the pelvis. This tissue acts as if it were inside the uterus and therefore responds to the female menstrual cycle. In practice, the lining grows thicker and then breaks down during the monthly period. The broken-down tissue becomes trapped and irritates the surrounding…
