Like the uterine lining, this tissue builds up and sheds in response to monthly hormonal cycles. However, there is no natural outlet for the blood discarded from these implants

Umbilical hernia endometriosis?

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.

Can you contract endometriosis while on the Depo-Provera?

No. Endometriosis is when endometrial tissue spreads outside the uterus and it causes great pain when the woman menstruates, as well as from inflammation in between periods from where the tissue seeded itself. Depo Provera stops endometrial cells from proliferating, so while a woman uses Depo Provera, she will have very little trouble with her endometriosis. Depo Provera stops periods, which is helpful in endometriosis.

Is scar tissue the same thing as endometriosis?

No. Scar tissue can result from a myriad of causes, including surgery to treat endometriosis. The tissue in endo adhesions resembles the endometrium, the lining of the uterus that sheds and causes bleeding every month, and responds to the same hormones as the endometrium, usually causing an increase in pain during a woman's period.


What ectopic endometrial tissue?

Ectopic endometrial tissue refers to endometrial cells that grow outside the uterus, commonly associated with a condition known as endometriosis. This tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs, leading to inflammation, pain, and potentially fertility issues. Unlike normal endometrial tissue, ectopic tissue does not shed during menstruation, which can cause further complications and chronic pain. Treatment options often include pain management, hormonal therapies, or surgical interventions.


Is it possible to have endometriosis without a uterus?
