How to Really Fight Endometriosis with Systemic Enzyme Therapy
Endometriosis occurs when the tissue lining your uterus (the endometrium) grows in other areas of your body, such as your ovaries, bowel or tissue lining your pelvis. The endometrial tissue thickens, breaks down and bleeds with a woman’s menstrual cycle, and this occurs whether it is in your uterus or outside of it. Endometrial tissue outside of your uterus has no way to exit your body, so the shed tissue and blood become trapped, causing inflammation and the formation of scar tissue. As explained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Servi ces Office of Women’s Health: “Every month, hormones cause the lining of a woman’s uterus to build up with tissue and blood vessels. If a woman does not get pregnant, the uterus sheds this tissue and blood. It comes out of the body through the vagina as her menstrual period. Patches of endometriosis also respond to the hormones produced during the menstrual cycle. With the passage of time, the growths of endometriosis may expand by adding extra tissue and blood. The symptoms of endometriosis often get worse.
