But it can grow anywhere, even in the brain and lungs. Endometrios is stimulated partly by the hormones of menstruation. So pain, a characteristic of symptomatic endometriosis, is worse at ovulation and during the menstrual and premenstrual parts of a woman's cycle.

Symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain, abnormal menstruation cycles, and infertitlity. If you have endometrial tissue growing between the uterus and the rectum, symptoms can include pain during sex, pain with bowel movements (especially before a period) and pressure in the rectal area. Some women don't have any symptoms, but their doctors discover endometrial tissue growing where it shouldn't during a routine check, or a check for other conditions.

Dr Christiane Northrup writes of a link between endometriosis and the autoimmune system. She cites studies on women with symptoms of endometriosis that "show these women often have antibodies against their own tissue, called auto-antibodies. This means that at some deep level, the mind of their pelvis is rejecting aspects of itself." This is an interesting approach, the psycho-spiritual one, that can help add

She goes on to say "When a woman feels that her innermost emotional needs are in direct conflict with what the world is demanding of her, endometriosis is on of the ways in which her body tries to draw attention to the problem." (p152, Northrup)

Managing Endometriousus Naturally

Dr Northrup suggests a treatment that supports the functioning of the immune system whilst allowing sufferers of endometriosis to find out what they need to address in their lives.

Natural Progesterone

This Works to decrease the effects of estrogen on endometrial tissue. Its advantages are that it doesn't have side effects. The cream is applied every day to soft areas of the skin like the face, neck and abdomen. Dr Northrup recommends using a 2 oz jar per month, alternating the areas it is applied to. She recommends applying it on days ten to twenty-eight of each monthly cycle.
