I wouldn't call it a 'condition' since it's part of life. but boys pick up cooties in weird ways. so yours is so much grosser



[quote name='xTrishaxLynnx' post='1830371' date='Apr 9 2009, 08:54 PM']I highly doubt that you truly feel that way, or you wouldn't be so happy to be surrounded by them all day and night.



If you menstruated, there would be a lot more whiney babies for us women to take care of. So yes, thank goodness you don't.[/quote]


plus they wouldn't beable to handle it!

Honestly, I am beginning to wonder if I have endometriosis. Today my cramps are so bad, I want to crawl off somewhere and die. Painkillers haven't helped at all. I have other symptoms that also make me wonder. Right now, I want to rip my uterus out.

Last time my cramps were so bad that even with midol I could barely stand. Of course I had to work, which means standing for hours straight. not fun. After work, i curled up with a hot water bottle and even that didn't help. bleh.

Warning, descriptions are a little graphic.

[quote]Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrial stroma and glands, which should only be located inside the uterus) is found elsewhere in the body.

Endometriosis lesions can be found anywhere in the pelvic cavity: on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and on the pelvic sidewall. Other common sites include the uterosacral ligaments, the cul-de-sac, the Pouch of Douglas, and in the rectal-vaginal septum.

In addition, it can be found in caecarian-section scars, laparoscopy or laparotomy scars, and on the bladder, bowel, intestines, colon, appendix, and rectum. But these locations are not so common.

In even more rare cases, endometriosis has been found inside the vagina, inside the bladder, on the skin, even in the lung, spine, and brain.

The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain. The pain often correlates to the menstrual cycle, but a woman with endometriosis may also experience pain that doesn’t correlate to her cycle. For many women, the pain of endometriosis is so severe and debilitating that it impacts their lives in significant ways.

Endometriosis can also cause scar tissue and adhesions to develop that can distort a woman’s internal anatomy. In advanced stages, internal organs may fuse together, causing a condition known as a "frozen pelvis."[/quote]

Yeah I think it can be caused by sexual intercourse during menstruation. Who wants to do that, I cannot imagine.

Actually, I don't think that's true. I have friends who have it and they were diagnosed long before they were married or had ever had sex.

[quote]What causes endometriosis?

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. One theory is that the endometrial tissue is deposited in unusual locations by the backing up of menstrual flow into the Fallopian tubes and the pelvic and abdominal cavity during menstruation (termed retrograde menstruation). The cause of retrograde menstruation is not clearly understood. But retrograde menstruation cannot be the sole cause of endometriosis. Many women have retrograde menstruation in varying degrees, yet not all of them develop endometriosis.

Another possibility is that areas lining the pelvic organs possess primitive cells that are able to grow into other forms of tissue, such as endometrial cells. (This process is termed coelomic metaplasia.)

It is also likely that direct transfer of endometrial tissues during surgery may be responsible for the endometriosis implants sometimes seen in surgical scars (for example, episiotomy or Cesarean section scars). Transfer of endometrial cells via the bloodstream or lymphatic system is the most likely explanation for the rare cases of endometriosis that develop in the brain and other organs distant from the pelvis.

Finally, some studies have shown alternations in the immune response in women with endometriosis, which may affect the body's natural ability to recognize and destroy any misdirected growth of endometrial tissue.[/quote]

Oh okay. I think it's one of the causes though.
