What Is Endometriosis and How Will It Affect Your Life?

Endometriosis is a bunch of cells that form within our abdominal cavity that should not really be there. These cells form and grow with the hormonal fluctuations of the body. As our monthly lining forms within our uterus, so do the cells form and grow. Because they shouldn't be there, they cause pain and inflammation within the abdominal cavity and cling to the outside walls of our intestine, bladder and uterus. After some time the cells start to grow into bigger lumps and create adhesions or bridges which are sticky. They start to stick between organs and this is when the pain really becomes unbearable. Every movement within the body becomes sore as the organs become lodged and stuck between other organs.

This is only the one side of Endometriosis. The medical side and the cold hard facts about what it does. It doesn't however go into what Endometriosis really means in your life and how it affects you and your body.

Endometriosis is a hormonal condition. Even though most of us think that anything hormonal is only related to our "womanly bits", hormones actually control many more elements within the body, including our digestion, our thyroid glands and our moods. Ever wondered why you get diarrhea or constipation whenever you get your period? Ever wondered why you get cold easily? This all relates back to our hormonal imbalance within the body.

What this means is that Endometriosis will affect you in many different ways that you may not have realised are part of having Endometriosis. One of the key aspects of having Endometriosis is the often difficult emotional one. We get emotional easily. This means we can get angry easily, depressed easily and we can also build worry and fear within ourselves easily. This doesn't really help our Endometriosis as the additional stress of worry, fear, anger and depression can actually directly cause more Endometriosis pain.

Endometriosis also causes a number of side-effects which doctors often don't directly attribute to having Endometriosis. What doctors don't tell you about having Endometriosis is that you will experience digestive problems with Endometriosis. The more erratic your digestive system is, the more likely your Endometriosis pain will feel worse. This is because hormones control our digestive system, along with many other aspects in the body. Our digestive system is also the main method in which the body flushes out toxins.

The reason Endometriosis can be attributed to many other conditions in the body is because the area that needs healing within the body is our liver. The liver is responsible for flushing out toxins in the body and when it isn't able to do this sufficiently, it will react by dumping many of the toxins back into the bloodstream. This inevitably causes a number of problems we can directly connect to the liver. One of the key jobs of the liver is to flush out excess hormones found in the body. As we know, it is these excess hormones which cause endometriosis cells to grow and the myriad of other problems within the body, which are hormone related.

I have suffered with Endometriosis for a number of years and have found that the best way to heal is to focus on the liver and our emotional healing.
