These mechanisms mainly have to do with different immune cells within the body being inhibited. For example, it has been found that natural killer cells are largely decreased in women who suffer from endometriosis. Other kinds of biological molecules, like cytokines and interleukins, are discussed as well. ]]> 2021-04-06 01:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385311619 nhasty01 https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385366257 In this article, a specific patient is talked about who suffers from pelvic pain, however, her menstruation cycle has been seen to be very regular. Upon presentation of this patient, this primary literature article provides a discussion about endometriosis and its statistics. There are many risk factors associated with endometriosis, in which this article discusses. It also discusses the difficult of diagnosis and why that is so.
Shown below is Figure 2 from this article, which illustrates where these transplanted endometrial cells can be found in endometriosis, and what factors may lead to that. ]]> 2021-04-06 02:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385366257 nhasty01 https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385385911 Endometriosis is a hard condition to diagnose, and for a while, many women were not believed when they would come forward about their pain. This news article is important, as it shows that people are finally listening and realizing that endometriosis is a true and difficult disease to live with. ]]> 2021-04-06 02:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385385911 nhasty01 https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385399499 This video explains how endometriosis comes about, and how the menstrual cycle is different when one suffers from this disease. ]]> 2021-04-06 02:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385399499 nhasty01 https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1385423948 This website provides information and updates on treatment options, symptoms, and ways to cope with the autoimmune disease Endometriosis. The legitimacy of this website can be proven through its duration (2005-current) and its recent updates on the disease.

Surgical Removal
2. Hormonal Therapies
3. Analgesics (pain relievers)

The most recommended treatment option is an analgesic called dienogest. It is taken in 2 mg doses and it does very well at relieving symptoms. 

*It has been found that those who receive surgical removal have a 56% rate of recurrent endometriosis. ]]> 2021-04-06 13:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1387092212 nhasty01 https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1387113914 Endometriosis is an autoimmune disease that results from endometrial cells implanting themselves outside of the uterine cavity. Typically, these cells are found within the uterine cavity and have a role in menstruation. When these cells relocate to other tissues, it can cause pain, irregular menstruation, and infertility.

1. Between 3% and 37% of endometriosis patients suffer from endometrial cells transplanting in the gastrointestinal tract. 
2. Sampson's retrograde menstruation theory posits that endometriosis can be caused by the reflux of endometrial tissue during menstruation. 
3. For those who suffer from GI involvement with endometriosis, it is difficult to diagnosis due to its resemblance to other conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome. ]]> 2021-04-06 14:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1387311879 nhasty01 https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1387511501 2021-04-06 14:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nhasty01/vnwjpuf9yxq7t46u/wish/1387511501
