Conditions related to the Uterus

Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis involves the invasion of endometrial tissue into the uterus muscle which causes inflammation in the pelvic region.

This may coexist with Endometriosis, amplifying similar symptoms like severe menstrual pain, heavy bleeding, and blood clotting.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.

Both conditions often coexist, possibly due to shared mechanisms involving chronic pain and inflammation and muscle soreness.

PCOS

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, ovarian cysts, and hormonal imbalances.

Endometriosis may trigger irregular menstruation and distension around the womb, worsening hormonal disturbances often seen with PCOS.

Fibrosis

Fibrosis is the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue that's produced in response of an injury or inflammation.

Endometriosis-related inflammation can potentially contribute to fibrosis, leading to scarring and complications within affected areas, impacting their function and structure.

PMS

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) refers to the physical and emotional symptoms experienced around the time of menstruation.

This can include; mood swings, irritability, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, and fatigue. Inflammation and hormonal fluctuations associated with Endometriosis may exacerbate PMS.

PMDD

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), is a severe form of PMS, characterised by intense mood disturbances and physical symptoms like bloating and fatigue.

Symptoms occur in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, surpassing typical PMS, and often demands medical intervention for effective management.

Digestive problems

IBS

When Endometrial tissue grows near the intestine this leads to inflammation, and it can often trigger Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

This disrupts the digestive system, activating symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and erratic bowel habits.

Natual remedies: light activities such as walking and light yoga can help to relax tense abdominal muscles. Low alkaline water can also help to reduce colic (trapped gas).

Interstitial Cystitis

Endometrial implants and lesions outside the uterus and in the pelvic region can impact the nerves that regulate bladder function.

This can cause interstitial Cystitis (IC), a chronic bladder condition causing pain and inflammatory urinary symptoms.

Natural remedies: Low alkaline water works to flush toxins, so it's also great cleanse for Cystitis. Herbal teas and low acid juices are also to have soothing properties.

Nerve or joint related issues

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

The inflammation and adhesions caused by endometrial implants near the pelvis can potentially impact the function of the sacroiliac joint, leading to dysfunction or discomfort in the area.

Sciatica or general nerve pain

Endometriosis affects pelvic nerves or nearby structures and can lead to irritation of the sciatic nerve. This can result in referred pain in places like the lower spine, the buttocks, and down the back of each leg.

Dyspareunia

Endometriosis leads to Dyspareunia or painful intercourse due to deep implants, pelvic floor tension, scarring, and inflammation, contributing to muscle discomfort and painful intercourse.

Spasms & hyper joint mobility

Some studies suggest that chronic pain from endometriosis might impact connective tissues, causing excessive muscle soreness and spasms. It may also contribute to joint laxity, or hyper-mobility in some individuals.
