Gastrointestinal Endometriosis/Dee

[Guest guest]

Hi Dee,

I have lost your email on this subject but wanted to

respond that I am not doubting the existence of this

condition--just wondering about it.

Apparently one can have gastrointestinal endometriosis

(as well as bladder and lung endometriosis?) without

ever having pelvic endometriosis. So I am just still

wondering about causes.

When I was diagnosed with endometriosis a hundred

years ago I was told that being of the tender age of

28 and not having had a pregnancy, that my body was

tired of preparing for pregnancy (by the monthly blood

buildup) and was just leaving all that blood in there.

(or something like that). I was told that when I had a

baby it would all go away. It did?

Now I am wondering if gastrointestinal endo also has

something to do with baby having or what. Just curious

making about all this--speculating out loud.

The following site seems to have a lot of information

about this if anybody is interested:

Oh I hear you Ar.... *grin*...

I didn't mean to say you doubted it at all.. just that 'I' wasn't surprised to hear about it. I'm wondering too how many other conditions may be caused by it but overlooked or a wrong diagnosis given. Your approach is more to the 'why' of it as you said the causes. Me, I'm more oriented with the fix the doggone thing and get the correct diagnosis I guess. Not that I don't want to know why either,... but if it's me going thru that, it's priorities first.

Just like all those various V names that were thrown at me as a diagnosis and why I gave up even trying to define it or wanting a name in the end..... Just FIX the damn thing. But my gawd imagine being diagnosed with colon cancer and it's that! Jeesh.

I see they call it "extrapelvic endometriosis"

I too remember always hearing that having a baby would fix that endo... No idea if that was true or not (and seems it was always a males opinion) but personally I don't see how that would have anything to do with it but could be 100% wrong too... and seeing you said 'did it?" Is that how it worked for you? Did it help?

All very interesting tho indeed and glad you found that and brought it up.

Hi Dee,

I bet you think I am arguing with you. LOL )

I'm not by the way.

If they can fix something that they haven't a clue

what is causing it, I doubt if it is really fixed in

most cases. Certainly Endo hasn't been fixed and most

of the vulvar disorders we talk about don't seem to be

fixed.

But I am for whatever works.
