Understanding Endometriosis

Physical well-being is crucial to everyday life. When one is holistically healthy-spiritually, mentally and physically-productivity tends to be higher. So, let's focus on endometriosis in females, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent and progesterone-resistant gynaecological condition. Estrogen tends to be higher in females aged between 10 to 50 years but declines as one age thus its trend. It usually begins at menarche (the first menstrual period in females) and ceases at menopause(when females stop being fertile). It is among the common causes of infertility, which occurs as a result of inflammation and scarring of the uterine lining making pregnancy difficult.
