What Exhibits Inflammation to Cause Endometriosis

As we mentioned in previous articles, during the last stage of the menstrual cycle normally a layer of endometriosis lining in the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood but instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body causing endometriosis. Endometriosis also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through menstrual period. In this article, we will discuss how endometriosis cause inflammation in our body.

1. Retrograde menstruation
Retrograde menstruation means that during menstruation, blood flows backwards instead of forwards causing menstrual blood to go through the fallopian tubes and gain access to the pelvic and abdominal cavity, resulting in inflammation. Endometrial lining sheds now may attach to the abdominal region forming implants or adhesion if the body's defenses cannot get rid of them.

2. Weakened immune system
Endometrial lining can grow anywhere in our body such as the pelvic area, on the fallopian tube, ovaries, and bladder. It is the responsibility of our body to destroy them, otherwise the endometrial lining may cause endometrial implants and adhesion attaching to the organ causing inflammation and damage to the organs. Weakened immune system and nervous system are caused by excessive drinking resulting in liver disease or nutritional deficiency, as a resulting of unhealthy diet.

3. Overproduction of xenoestrogen
Xenoestrogens are parts of a heterogeneous group of chemicals that are a hormonally active agent. Xenoestrogens as false messengers that disrupt the process of reproduction, causing inflammation, and increase growth of endometrium.

4. Environment toxins
Study shows that the average human body absorbs hundred of synthetic chemicals from the environment everyday such as insecticides, herbicides, gasoline, and household cleaning products. This causes uncontrolled cellular growth of free radicals as well as endometrial inflammation if the defense system which cannot destroy them through normal processes. Endometriosis implants and adhesion are the result.

5. Liver diseases
The liver is the first line of our defense system. It secretes bile to the intestine that helps to destroy any foreign substance that enters our body through intake of food. If the liver is weakened, endometrial lining may be attached to the intestine wall or on the surface of the liver causing inflammation as well as endometrial implants or adhesion.
