“Endometriosis “is a complex and misunderstood condition where the tissue cells which usually line the uterus/ the womb in the female, grows outside the uterus and on other areas in the body like on ovaries, fallopian tubes, tissues that hold the uterus in place and outer surface of the uterus. This displayed endometrium tissue continues to act like it normally would in the uterus - it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. As this tissue cannot exit from the body it becomes trapped. Surrounding tissues become irritated, eventually resulting in scar tissue and adhesions. These abnormal bands of fibrous tissue can cause pelvic tissues and organs to stick to each other. Ayurveda prescribes basti/therapeutic enema along with lifestyle modification, diet and proper medications to correct vata bioenergy to solve this stubborn problem. Read this column in series to know more about this problem and how Ayurveda addresses the complications.
Tara (name changed) came to our center c/o severe pain in the abdomen. This pain looks like a life sentence for me every menstrual cycle, she said”. The pelvic pain is severe, the flow is awful and my sexual life is unpleasant and scary. The impact of this is traumatizing my emotional life in other ways too, like it is isolating me from my friends and family; because of these unexpected bouts of physical pain I am unable to participate in sports or take part in day to day activities .Severe abdominal pain and cramping force me to make changes in my everyday life and many times I end up cancelling my plans and appointments. My work is suffering because of frequent absences and I am still struggling to get pregnant she added .
The doctor who saw me last time said you are suffering from “Endometriosis” a complex and misunderstood condition where the tissue cells which usually line the uterus/the womb in the female, grows outside the uterus and on other areas in the body like on ovaries, fallopian tubes, tissues that hold the uterus in place and outer surface of the uterus she continued. This diagnosis prepared my mind to believe that period pains are part of my problem and I have to put all efforts to try to coup up with it. Earlier my inner family circle thought that I was exaggerating and too sensitive to bear pain. The diagnosis helped me avoid this misunderstanding and I am looking forward to wipe out this problem with the support of physician with exceptional experience and up to date information about Endometriosis.
