How To Deal With Endometriosis Wall Implants

Are you concerned you may have endometriosis wall implants in your abdomen? If you have undergone surgery or received a stomach wound then it's possible. Read on to find out more.

Abdominal Topography

If you have been experiencing abdominal pain that restricts your movement, the ability to sit or stand straight and worsens during menstruation you may be experiencing endometriosis of the abdominal wall.

However, as there are so many possibilities for the pain the true cause can often be overlooked initially.

The abdominal cavity normally contains a small amount of fluid that lubricates the organ surfaces. This cavity is lined with a thin glistening membrane called the peritoneum. This structure covers all the abdominal organs, forming folds between which the coils of intestine are located.

Abnormalities of the abdominal cavity or the abdomen are numerous with congenital, inflammatory, infectious, traumatic and neoplastic lesions encountered in every portion and at every site of the abdominal cavity.

Abdominal wall endometriosis is usually found in the lower abdominal area at the site of a previous incision from surgical operations, such as cesarean section.

The abdominal wall is not normally a frequent site for the development of endometriosis. However, endometrial tissues, once transported from the uterus or pelvic cavity, can attach to the abdomen wall and develop.

Therefore, women who have had cesarean sections or any transabdominal gynecologic surgery are susceptible to developing endometriosis in the abdominal wall.

Why is it so?

The explanation is very simple. You see, at the time you had a transabdominal gynecologic surgery, specifically cesarean section, tiny amounts of uterine lining may be transferred during surgery and relocated in wound opening and can start developing at the site of the scar.

This theory is supported by some recent studies, where in 28 out of 56 endometriosis cases, women had previously undergone cesarean section operations.

These benign lesions of endometriosis on the abdominal wall will act in the same way as if they were still inside the uterus. Growing and shedding unwanted tissue each month. This brings about cyclical bleeding and localised cyclical pain each month.

As endometriosis is a progressive condition the inflammation and scarring will get worse over time creating a mass of tissue at the scar site.
