endometriosis
Endometrial cells line the wall of the uterus and build up each month
until being shed at the time of menstruation. Endometriosis is a condition
in which this lining produces small nests of stray cells that are transported
out of the womb and into the fallopian tubes, bladder, ovaries, and
elsewhere— sometimes even reaching as far as the lungs. The tissue still
behaves as if it were in the womb and continues to f uctuate with the
cyclic hormonal changes. Wherever these stray cells settle, they will bleed
monthly, coinciding with the menstrual cycle. This blood collects and
stagnates, causing toxic buildups that eventually become inf amed and
develop into blood-f lled cysts (chocolate cysts). There is, of course, a
great deal of pain associated with this condition.
The cause of endometriosis is unknown, but poor hygiene, the use of
manmade f bers in underwear, repeated infections including pelvic
inf ammatory disease, dirty surgical implements, dirty hands and f ngers,
tampons, retained placenta, and all manner of outside poisoning sources
create infections. Sluggish periods with inadequate emptying of the womb
each month could also be a possibility. Endometrial cells have been found
