DOES PREGNANCY CURE ENDOMETRIOSIS AND IS ENDOMETRIOSIS CANCEROUS
Many women are told by their doctors that the cure for endometriosis is pregnancy. Unfortunately, this is a myth which continues to be perpetuated in medical as well as popular literature.
The mistaken belief that pregnancy cures endometriosis appears to have arisen from the impressions and speculations of some of the early gynaecologists who had a special interest in endometriosis. In general, even those gynaecologists did not claim that pregnancy was a permanent cure. Rather, they said that their impression was that pregnancy usually led to an improvement in the condition and generally delayed its recurrence.
Such early speculations and subsequent assertions have never been proven in any scientific studies.
The reality is that pregnancy seldom ‘cures’ endometriosis and the effect of pregnancy on endometriosis varies widely.
Is endometriosis cancerous-Endometriosis is definitely not a form of cancer, nor is it a
pre-cancerous condition.
Endometriosis is sometimes referred to as a benign cancer because it behaves like cancer in some ways. Like cancer, it is able to grow and expand, to implant itself in a distant part of the body after having been transported there by the bloodstream or the lymph vessels and to invade or penetrate organs and tissues in the body.
But unlike cancer, endometriosis does not destroy the organ or tissue on which it implants itself.
Any tissue in the body can develop into cancer. Therefore, theoretically, any endometrial implants and endometriomas have the potential to become cancerous. But it is extremely rare for endometriosis to become cancerous.
