ENDO: A Cause Of Infertility

Decent Essays
ENDO is considered one of the primary causes of infertility in which it is estimated that up to 50% of women with ENDO are infertile (1). ENDO is an inscrutable disease affecting up to 10% women of reproductive age (1). In the female reproductive system the uterus tissues merely cover the interior of the womb and not other organs. On the other hand, in a case with ENDO the uterus cells grow in other areas of the pelvic cavity and affect other organs of the body (2). Even though the causes are still unknown, there are multiple risk agents which increase a woman's probability of developing the numerous symptoms. Women can gain a better understanding of the nature of ENDO, so the condition does not become worse.

    During the procedure, the doctor removes the lining of the endometrium that is responsible for the heavy bleeding. There are no incisions made during the procedure and the uterus remains intact. Many women benefit from this procedure, yet it is not appropriate for those who wish to have more children. In addition, women with an active pelvic, urinary or genital infection, those using an IUD and those who may or do have uterine cancer need to discuss other treatment options. Furthermore, this is not a method of sterilization, thus women need to choose another method of birth…

    Introduction Identified as a ‘chronic gynaecological disorder,’ (Giudice and Kao, 2004, p. 1789) endometriosis occurs, mostly found in the pelvic region, when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) is found outside the uterus where it shouldn’t be, tissue appears to be red, inflamed and may form nodules and cysts (Endometriosis New Zealand [ENZ], 2015). As Endometriosis New Zealand (2015) estimates at least 120,000 girls and women have endometriosis in New Zealand and about 176 million women worldwide, the development of effective education, diagnosis and support for women with endometriosis is an important area of research. However, endometriosis is an underdiagnosed enduring disease, the average time amid onset of symptoms and diagnosis is between eight to ten years (Moradi, Parker, Sneddon, Lopez, and Ellwood, 2014).…

    After a sperm cell and egg cell are combined to fertilized egg, It becomes a blastocyst trough cell division. Inside the blastocyst, there is a mass of cells called intracellular cells which form embryos through cell division and differentiation. Embryos form one fetus through pregnancy. In this process, cells of inner cell mass are differentiated into cells of all tissues, such as blood, bones, skin, and liver. If you remove cells of inner cell mass from a blastocyst and incubate them in a particular environment, there would be no more possibility to differentiate, but could be a cell that still has ability to differentiate.…

    In concert with other hormones, estrogens provide for the reproductive processes of ovulation, implantation of the products of conception, pregnancy, parturition, and lactation by stimulating the development and maintaining the growth of the accessory organs. In addition to their effects on the growth of uterine muscle, estrogens play an important role in the development of the endometrial lining. During anovulatory cycles, continued exposure to estrogen for prolonged periods leads to abnormal hyperplasia of the endometrium and abnormal bleeding patterns. When estrogen production is poorly coordinated during the normal menstrual period, inappropriate bleeding and shedding of the endometrium also can occur.…
