Can endometriosis cause abdominal distention?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, endometriosis can cause abdominal distention or bloating as one of its symptoms. This condition occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. During your menstrual cycle, this tissue can become irritated and lead to inflammation, causing your abdomen to feel swollen or distended. Other common symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain, painful periods, and infertility. If you suspect you have endometriosis, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for diagnosis and management options.

Yes, if it's not cured from the root. Pelvic inflammatory disease which is known as PID is one of the most frequent occurred disease for women. According to the data released by WHO, around 1 million women in USA experience an episode of this disease every year. It would bring complications like ectopic pregnancy, infertility and chronic pelvic pain to women. Pelvic inflammatory disease and its complications are cured by taken antibiotics orally in the early years. But the results are always not that satisfied by suffers. Fortunately, there is a new herbal medicine Fuyan pill has been developed. This made it possible for women to get a full recovery from Pelvic inflammatory disease and its complications, and it has great superiority on eliminating chronic symptoms.

How to get pregnant when you have Endometriosis?

Asked by Wiki User

I have endometriosis and the doctors have told me that until a fertility test is taken you wont be able to know if you are or are not able to have children. However, they also mentioned that it will be more difficult to become pregnant. I have met several women who have endometriosis who got pregnant just fine. Getting pregnant and having endometriosis is based solely upon your individual genetic make-up.

AnswerIt really depends on the extent of the Endometriosis. I am assuming that you were diagnosed through laparoscopy, which is the only true way of diagnosing Endometriosis. Therefore, you should ask the physician that performed the procedure exactly where the endometrial implants are located. If they are in the fallopian tubes or ovaries, there is usually too much scar tissue for an egg or sperm to travel through and result in pregnancy.

Many women though, have been known to become pregnant with Endometriosis and have said that the disease virtually disappears or lessens after pregnancy due to not menstruating for 9 or more months. Check with your Dr, if you have insurance, the endometrial implants can often be removed with laser and covered by your plan.

*****Don't give up home thogh cause I had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed with Endometriosis last summer 2010 that covered all of my organs from my servix all the way up to and including my liver, my tubes and ovaries weres severely scared as well as many of my organs and in November 2010 just after my birthday I found out I was pregnant and medically speaking it wasn't possible, but it happened. and now I have a two and a half month old son who is perfectly healthy and we couldn't be happier. As for the fertility tests they were all negative and i took them as instructed to the T as well as fertility medication. Eventually I quit worrying and stoped the meds and the tests and just went on with my life not just mentally but deep down.... and as I said previously wonderful blessing of a son was still the result for me.--Stevie1989

Disease that makes you look young?

Asked by Wiki User

Edit 3/3/2015

I believe what you're referring to is Lepromatous Leprosy. Or "Pretty Leprosy". It has the ability to make people look younger than they are.

Edit 3/20/13

It is called congenital growth-hormone condition, and it is a growth hormone deficiency.

Are you serious? If you find out what this disease is, I know several people (including myself) who would love to have it!

There ARE diseases that make people look very old, but I don't think there's any disease that makes you look young!

ANSWER

Yes indeed there are diseases that make you look young, People can look like a child but really be 33 years old. My aunt had it and she did not die because of it, most people think that means you will die faster. You will not die faster and this disease is not common at all. It is very rare to have it. If you have ever seen the movie the Orphan at the beginning they are right, they said " This is not based off a real story but the disease she has is. Few people have this disease but it is possible."(

Momo2828: no this person is wrong, the disease Ester had in The Orphan was a growth hormone deficiency, or a form of dwarfism. The disease you are asking about makes you look younger then they really are, 2 days ago i hear on MTV that Justin Bieber had the disease and that he is really 33 years old, then later on i heard he was actually his real age(16) but the disease made him look like a 12 year old hyppothetically.

Funnily enough there is a programme on TV tomorrow night in Britain about something similar. It is when the pubertal hormones do not kick in and the person does not get any secondary sexual characteristics, including, no breasts for women, no enlargement of the genitals for men, no pubic/underarm hair, no acne.

Can a biopsy determine if you have endometriosis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat endometriosis. If your doctor recommends a laparoscopy, it will be used to look for and possibly remove implants and scar tissue. But laparoscopy is not always needed. It is usually done when infertility requires rapid treatment and probable surgery or when treatment has not relieved pain or infertility.

How do you detect endometriosis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only way to really know if you have endometriosis is by having laparoscopic surgery. In the surgery, there is a camera that is put through a small incision by your belly button. The camera will show if there is endometrial tissue growing in areas that it should not be. However, there are some symptoms that will indicate the possibility of endometriosis without a laparoscopy. These may include, and are not limited to: irregular periods, bleeding in between periods, pain in the abdomen area, difficulty conceiving, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. There are many women that never have any symptoms at all. So if you suspect you may have it, visit your OB GYN to discuss your concerns.

If you really infected with it, don't worry, it is curable. The TCM herbal medicine has been proven effective on curing endometriosis by many clinic cases. There is no doubt that TCM has more advantages such as no side effect and no drug resistance as well. We may as well take herbal medicine fuyan pill for example; fuyan pill has the functions of clearing heat and removing toxin, activating blood and resolving stasis, and resolving dampness which can help patients eliminate symptoms and restore health.

Yes. In endometriosis the tissue begins to grow in places outside, as well as inside, the uterus. When the tissue begins to slough off during the monthly cycle it can cause pain or discomfort wherever it is located. Over time the length of pain tends to increase and can last for weeks.

Can you die from endometriosis surgery?

Asked by Wiki User

I have had Endometriosis for 6 years. And I have had 5 surgeries in relation to it. While Endometriosis is not a fatal disease, there are risks to your life with any surgery. A number of things can go wrong while on the operating table. The risks are greater if they have to fully open you up then if you have a laproscopic procedure done. I have had both which is how I know the answer to this. Before having any kind of operation done you have to sign many forms and your doctor should inform you that there are risks to any surgery, including one done for Endometriosis.

Not always. It also depends on the woman's genetic makeup on how fertile she would've been without the endometriosis. The locations, depth, and sizes of the endometrial implants are what determines infertility or difficulties in conception.

Can you have endometriosis without heavy bleeding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes.

Heavy bleeding is just one of many signs or symptoms of endometriosis. Actually, many women with endometriosis have none of the usual symptoms and would never know it without an exploratory surgery (or if the doctor noticed it during caesarian delivery), because endometriosis doesn't appear on ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI, or XRay.

How can you tell if you have endometriosis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately some endometrioses patients may be completely asymptomatic while others experience emotional and physical pain that is almost unbearable. For those who are not asymptomatic, the patients may experience anywhere from one to all of the following symptoms: pain before and during periods, pain with intercourse, general, chronic pelvic pain through the month, low back pain, heave and/or irregular periods, painful bowel movements, painful urination during menstruation, fatigue, infertility, diarrhea or constipation, nausea and vomiting, headaches, pain during intercourse, low-grade fevers, depression, hypoglycemia, anxiety and increased susceptibility to infections or allergies . According to Harvard Women's Health Watch, the most common symptom that most women experience with endometriosis is severe menstrual cramps, gastrointestinal problems, and pain during intercourse. Women who experience postpartum endometriosis, generally have different symptoms than those who develop endometriosis naturally. Their symptoms are generally fever, increased pulse, chills, anorexia, nausea, fatigue and lethargy, pelvic pain, uterine tenderness and/or foul smelling. Some women may also become anemic. Within 36 to 48 hours, blood cultures should reveal any evidence of endometriosis.

Having a miscarriage will not cause endometriosis. However, women diagnosed with endometriosis have been found to have a higher rate of miscarriage than others. Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility. Please know that many women with endo do have healthy babies. (I am one of them!)

Please join the Endometriosis Association at endometriosisassn.org and check out the book, Endometriosis, by Mary Lou Ballweg.

What causes endometriosis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several things that have said to be the cause of endometriosis. Although endometriosis can occur at pretty much any time in a woman's reproductive life, the most common ages are from twenty five to twenty nine. Some studies show that it is thought to be a hereditary factor. When a woman is exposed to increased menstruation, her possibility of developing endometriosis is higher. Also, a woman who experienced long and heavy menstrual periods before having children might be more susceptible to endometriosis. Obesity is another factor that can affect the possibility of developing the disease

There are a number of treatments available. They include surgery to remove the endo, pain medications, drugs that affect the hormonal system, herbal medicine of Fuyan Pill, and hysterectomy.

How do you treat endometriosis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of cells (endometrial cells) similar to those that form the inside of the uterus, but in a location outside of the uterus. Endometrial cells are 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 locations in the pelvis. Rarely, endometriosis implants can occur outside the pelvis, on the liver, in old surgery scars, and even in or around the lung or brain. Endometrial implants, while they can cause problems, are benign (not cancerous).

Most people will choose to do a surgery to get cured , but , that will leave a scar or the patients will suffer from a lot of pain , the the herbal med Fuyan pill is a very good med , this medicine has applied for a patent. "Fuyan pill" has the function to clear away heat and toxic material.After three months' treatment , all the symptoms can be cleared up and the patients can be pregant after their radical treatment .

How old can you be to get endometriosis?

Asked by Wiki User

I'm pretty certain any female who has their period can get endometriosis.

"Endometriosis can affect any woman, from premenarche to postmenopause, regardless of her race or ethnicity or whether or not she has had children" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis)

If you do think you have it, go see your doctor and they might be able to help you find ways to treat it without having to go to a gynocologist (if you feel you are too young).

I think I may have endometriosis , but I'm waiting til I'm 18 to see the gyno so I can work up the courage!

But definitely go to the doctor if you have period pain, because they should be able to help with the pain a little bit, if not completely :)

Can you have kids with endometriosis?

Asked by Wiki User

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial cells invade the pelvic cavity outside the uterus and continue to grow. These lesions or masses can be all different sizes and several different. The ovaries are one of the most common sites for the lesions to occur. These lesions are capable of distorting the large intestine, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Due to these complications, it can cause bowel problems and infertility

According to the Mayo Clinic, infertility is the most common complication of endometriosis. Approximately one-third to one-half of patients diagnosed with endometriosis has difficulties becoming pregnant. The endometrial lesions can interfere with the egg's ability to travel from the ovary, to the fallopian tubes and implantation as well. Another reason for impaired fertility is that the adhesions surrounding the uterus, pull it into a fixed, retoverted position. They can also interfere with conception itself. The lesions can block the path of the sperm and prevent it from ever reaching the egg to fertilize it. Despite these obstacles, many women with endometriosis are able to get pregnant

The fertility rates for women with a mild case of endometriosis without therapy are seventy-five percent. Because the fallopian tubes are often distorted and harmed from the endometrial lesions, women who suffer from severe cases of endometriosis often find it more difficult to conceive. For those who have severe cases of endometriosis, their fertility rate ranges from about thirty to forty percent. Surgery and ovulation induction are methods that are often used to help increase a woman's chance of becoming pregnant
