Endometriosis:

Endometriosis is a disease where uterine tissue grows on sites of the intra-abdominal organs and the fallopian tubes. The incidence is greater in women aged 25 to 45 years of age, and in women of Asian decent. The disease increases the risk of infertility by making the passage of the ovum difficult through the fallopian tube. The cause of the disease is unknown, but many physicians question if it is from our exposure to environmental estrogens. The pharmacological treatment of choice is birth control pills or laparoscopy, a surgical procedure. The only way to correctly diagnose endometriosis is by laparoscopy. Treating endometriosis with Natural Solutions can be done effectively and prevent re-occurrence.
