Does endometriosis cause bleeding?
Yes, endometriosis can cause bleeding, particularly during menstruation. Women with endometriosis may experience heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) or bleeding between periods due to the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. This tissue responds to hormonal changes, leading to inflammation and bleeding in the surrounding areas. Additionally, some women may experience pain and discomfort along with these bleeding episodes.
Can the germ theory of disease cause endometriosis?
No, endometriosis is not caused by the germ theory of disease. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. Its exact cause is unknown, but factors like genetics, hormonal imbalances, and immune system disorders are believed to play a role in its development.

Can you have endometriosis at 69 years old?
Yes, it is possible to have endometriosis at 69 years old. While most cases are diagnosed in women of reproductive age, endometriosis can persist after menopause due to the presence of estrogen-producing tissues outside the uterus. Symptoms may vary in older women but can still include pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, and gastrointestinal issues. Consulting with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management is recommended.
What is the cause of weeping leg oedema?
I am not a doctor but I had this condition a few years ago. My lower legs were swollen (edema). Nearly every morning, within an hour or two after I woke up, both legs would start "weeping" (a clear fluid coming out of the leg). The weeping was significant enough that by 10am, my blue jeans would be soaked through from the knees down.
I went from one doctor to another seeking diagnosis and treatment of this condition. No one seemed able to help. Finally, after 5 years of dealing with this, I was finally referred to a liver specialist. He found that I had cirrhossis of the liver from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and I would die if I did not get a liver transplant.
Once I started working with liver specialist, I learned that weeping legs sometimes occurred in cases of liver failure.
If you have this symptom, it is important to ask your doctor to check your liver. Weeping leg edema is a condition where fluid pools and builds up in the legs. These are left over fluids from the blood that your heart pumps.

Stage three is moderate disease, deep endometriosis and adhesions. Stage four is severe disease, deep endometriosis with dense adhesions
There are a number of treatments for endometriosis available. They include surgery to remove the endo, pain medications, drugs that affect the hormonal system, herbal medicine of Fuyan Pill, and hysterectomy.
Can endometriosis cause abdominal distention?
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?
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?
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.
ANSWER -

Can a biopsy determine if you have endometriosis?
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?
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.
Can painful menstruration be endometriosis?
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?
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.
Will endometriosis cause infertility?
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?
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.

Do you have periods if you have endometriosis?
All women are different. Some women with endometriosis will not have regular periods. However, there are also women with endometriosis that either have irregular periods, or even those that have very regular periods. If you think you may have endometriosis, see your OB GYN.
Does endometriosis cause uterus cancer?
Endometriosis is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, heavy periods, and infertility. Treatment options include pain relievers, hormones, herbal medicine of Fuyan Pill and surgery.
How can you tell if you have endometriosis?
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.
