Denver Endometriosis Disability Attorney

Endometriosis is a painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside of the uterus. It most commonly involves the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissue lining the pelvis. Rarely it will spread beyond pelvic organs. This tissue will act as it normally would while in the uterus, it will thicken, break down, and bleed with each menstrual cycle, but this displaced tissue has no exit and will become trapped. When the ovaries are involved cysts may form. Eventually the surrounding tissue will become irritated, developing scar tissue and adhesions. Fertility problems may develop if left untreated.

Causes included retrograde menstruation, transformation of peritoneal cells, embryonic cell transformation, surgical scarring especially from a C-section or hysterectomy, or immune system disorders.

Symptoms involve painful periods (dysmenorrhea), excessive bleeding, infertility, pain with intercourse, and pain bowel movements or urination. The severity of pain is not necessarily a reliable indicator of the extent of the condition.

Endometriosis is sometimes mistaken for other conditions that cause pelvic pain such as pelvic inflammatory disease or ovarian cysts. It may also be confused with irritable bowel syndrome, which can be comorbid with endometriosis, complicating the diagnosis.

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. They may be caused by genetic changes in normal uterine muscle cell and an increase in estrogen and/or progesterone production among other growth factors.

Symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual periods lasting more than a week, pelvic pressure of pain, frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, constipation, backache or leg pains.

Although uterine fibroids are not usually dangerous, they can cause discomfort and may lead to complications such as anemia from heavy blood loss. They are not associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.
