Hello readers! We have compiled a list of 10 common questions about endometriosis that we frequently receive from our Clear Passage patients and wanted to share them with you.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis describes a condition in which the tissue that usually lines the uterus is found in other places in the female body. Physicians are not sure how endometrial tissue arrives or travels to other parts of the body.
What are adhesions?
These are tiny but powerful collagen fibers that form naturally as the first step in healing. In fact, they can form anywhere in the body that healing occurs.
What are the different stages of Endometriosis?
Stage One – few endometrial implants, most often in the cul-desac the space between the uterus and the rectum).
Stage Two – mild to moderate levels of endometrial implants (usually with a few small areas of scar tissue or adhesions).
Stage Three – moderate levels of superficial and deep endometrial implants in several reproductive areas (often with several areas of scar tissue or adhesions).
Stage Four – widespread superficial and deep endometriosis implants often throughout the pelvic area (usually with large adhesions).
