According to
Johns Hopkins Medicine, endometriosis
affects up to 10% of American women between the ages of 25 and 40. It affects
millions of women worldwide. Endometrial tissue that develops outside of a
woman's uterus is called endometriosis. The uterus exterior surface, the lining
of the pelvic cavity, the ligaments that support the uterus, the spaces between
the uterus and the rectum, and the spaces between the uterus and the bladder
are among the common places where it develops. The bladder, rectum, and
intestines are a few less common locations where the disease can be found.
It typically
takes more than seven years to confirm a diagnosis of endometriosis since it is
so little understood. According to Christine Metz, a medical researcher with
the Feinstein Institute, "several women don't aware there's something
called "silent endo. Women may experience severe illness with little to no
discomfort, which is referred to as "silent endometriosis. And many of
those women
receive a diagnosis after trying to conceive for a long time without success.
Menstrual
symptoms are commonly misunderstood by society. It is believed that severe
cramping is common, which makes women feel like they are overreacting.
There are
dangers of silent endometriosis; any person who has a uterus is susceptible to
endometriosis. Even if there is no known cause, a few things could make you
vulnerable. Endometriosis can be inherited, so if your mother or sibling has
it, you might too, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. According to Best
Health Magazine, ethnicity may even be involved, with Asian and Caucasian women
having a higher occurrence. Most silent endometriosis sufferers wait until they
have struggled with infertility before receiving a diagnosis. 35–50% of people
with endometriosis experience problems with their fertility. Endometriosis
growths are surgically removed during laparoscopies in order to relieve
symptoms, increase fertility,
and halt the course of the condition.
