Episode notes
Endometriosis Is A Chronic Condition
- Endometriosis cannot be cured and lesions keep recurring despite surgery or medical treatment.
- Treatments manage symptoms and improve pregnancy chances but do not eliminate the underlying disease.
How Lesions Form And Persist
- Retrograde menstruation deposits endometrial cells into the pelvis where immune clearance usually removes them.
- In some women immune clearance is suppressed, allowing lesions to persist and grow.
Toxic Pelvic Environment Lowers Fertility
- Pelvic deposits release toxins that block egg receptors and reduce sperm-egg interaction.
- This toxic pelvic environment lowers monthly fecundity long before visible lesions appear.
