"Endometriosis is mostly found in women in their reproductive age and is responsible for 25- 35% of female infertility and 25 – 40% of painful menses is because of endometriosis."

 

The inner lining of the uterus is made of endometrial cells. The endometrial lining sheds in every menstrual cycle. Endometrial cells are meant to be the inner lining of the uterus but when these cells attach to the tissues outside the uterus it is called endometrial implants. These implants lead to the condition called endometriosis. The endometrial implants may be in ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina and urinary bladder. These implants are reactive towards hormonal changes and this leads to prolonged periods with heavy clots and pelvic pain.

 

According to Ayurveda the vitiated vata dosha displaces endometrial cells outside the uterus. The periods pain caused due to endometriosis is also caused by vata dosha. The hormonal changes, blood flow and any inflammation is due to pitta dosha. Kapha dosha is responsible for overgrowth of endometrial cells.
