Yes. The most common areas for endometriosis adhesions are in the abdominopelvic cavity, but there have been documented cases of endometriosis appearing on the lungs and even in the mucous membranes of the nose!
Cancer that can move throughout the body and spread to other organs
It can spread and effect the other organs in your body.
Yes, my wife has just been diagnosed (surgical laparoscopy) with endometriosis of various organs - and including the hip bone/joint. So, yes - uncommon but clearly possible
You can have PCOS and endometriosis at the same time, but one does not mean you have the other.
tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection that involves the lungs, but may spread to other organs
A metastatic osteosarcoma has clearly spread to other parts of the body. Most often it spreads to the lungs, but it can also spread to other bones, the brain, or other organs. About 1 out of 5 osteosarcomas have spread already when they are first diagnosed
Cancerous cells can also invade other organs through the circulatory system of the lymph, causing those organs to malfunction.
Yes - Endometriosis is one of the primary listed medical disqualifications for the Navy and other service branches.
Endometriosis is usually a long-lasting (chronic) disease. When you have endometriosis, the type of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing outside your uterus. The clumps of tissue (called implants) may have grown on your ovaries or fallopian tubes, the outer wall of the uterus, the intestines, or other organs in the belly. In rare cases they spread to areas beyond the belly. With each menstrual cycle, the implants go through the same growing, breaking down, and bleeding that the uterine lining (endometrium) goes through. This is why endometriosis pain may start as mild discomfort a few days before the menstrual period and then usually is gone by the time the period ends. But if an implant grows in a sensitive area, it can cause constant pain or pain during certain activities, such as sex, exercise, or bowel movements. Some women have no symptoms or problems. Others have mild to severe symptoms or infertility. There is no way to predict whether endometriosis will get worse, will improve, or will stay the same until menopause.
It can have an effect such as lung damage/infection and even spread throughout other organs including the brain.
Endometrial tissue lines the uterus. Each month, in tune with the menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue thickens and is shed during menstruation. If you have endometriosis, it means that the same kind of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing in other parts of your body, usually in the abdomen. This can cause scar tissue to build up around your organs. Endometriosis may cause severe pain and abnormal bleeding, usually around the time of your period. Pain during intercourse is another common symptom. However, it is possible to have endometriosis and not have any symptoms. Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility(inability to get pregnant). Often it is not diagnosed until a woman has trouble getting pregnant.
lungs It can spread to other organs by way of the blood. I can cause severe brain damage.
