1. Endometriosis? What is it?

This means that hormonal changes occurring in a woman's body, especially with the next menstrual cycle, cause inflammatory changes within the accumulated cells (called endometriosis fires). However, external tumors can also affect other internal organs, such as the digestive tract (especially the rectum), lungs, and even bones.

2. Endometriosis Symptoms and complications

Pain is a result of the aforementioned inflammatory changes. Inflammation of endometrial cells also contributes to damage to cells at the site of fires. A characteristic symptom of endometriosis is painful and heavy menstruation. Other symptoms of endomyosis include: sleep problems, pain during defecation, genital ulcers, bacterial microflora disorders, inflammation of the pelvic floor muscle, pain in the bone marrow, difficulty in correcting inflammation (e.g. frequent menstruation), pain from the digestive tract to the intestinal wall (i.e. the brain, stomach, intestinal tract), pain in contact with the genital organs, and problems with the body).

3. Endometriosis is treated

Surgical removal of endometrial fires by laparoscopy or laparotomy is the most effective way to eliminate chronic pain disorders. For this reason, surgical treatment is more focused on removing growths to relieve pain and restore internal organs to normal mobility. Endometriosis treatment focuses on treating chronic diseases of pain. However, the most common choice is to use complex estrogen-glycemic therapy.

4. Physical therapy is a new tool to fight endometriosis

Physical therapy in endometriosis includes, inter alia, visceral therapy, dry needling, manual therapy, manual wound mobilization, pin pressurization or urogenetic therapy. Manual medicine plays an increasing role in the fight against endometriotic disorders. In addition, the physiotherapeutic procedure includes medical health training aimed at learning proper movement patterns and postural reeducation, and respiratory gymnastics.
