Info About Endometriosis You Should Know by Shelley Ross

Endometriosis is a condition that can easily cause problems in a woman’s life and can have far reaching effects beyond the physical symptoms that is causes. As the cause of this condition is still largely unknown, any menstruating women can be diagnosed with endometriosis. Here is some info about endometriosis that you might find helpful in understanding what’s going on.

How Endometriosis Occurs:
Women during their reproductive years, usually between 25 and 40 years of age, are most vulnerable to having endometriosis. However, there are documented cases of affected individuals suffering from the condition as early as 11 years of age.
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial cells start growing outside the uterus. When this happens, the uterus and other parts of a woman’s reproductive system like the fallopian tube and the vagina can suffer from lesions and scars.

 a. Relieved with defecation and/or
 b. Associated with a change in frequency of stool; and/or

or days:
 a. Altered stool frequency
 b. Altered stool form (e.g. watery/loose stools or hard stools)
 c. Altered stool passage (e.g. sensations of incomplete
    evacuation after bowel movements, straining, or urgency)
 d. Passage of mucus and/or
 e. Bloating or feeling of abdominal distention

In addition, a number of other non-colonic symptoms may be present in
patients with IBS.  These include: nausea, feeling full after eating only a
small meal, sensation of urinary urgency, incomplete emptying after

IBS Symptom Journal
An IBS symptom journal can help you and your doctor figure out what triggers your IBS, and how to deal with those triggers.
Fill this out as soon as you experience symptoms. Print extra copies to have on hand.
Remember, a variety of factors can set off IBS: Certain types of food, the volume of food, stress, medicines, your menstrual cycle, and your environment.
You may find, for instance, that you tend to feel bloated after eating snacks during office meetings. Knowing what influences your eating and what causes you stress can help in developing prevention strategies.

Paroxetine(Seroxat, Paxil) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) 

Paxil is an agent in a newer class of antidepressant medication known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Depression and anxiety disorders might be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. One of these chemicals is serotonin, which helps send electrical signals from one nerve cell to another. In the process, serotonin is released from one nerve cell (the sender) and travels to the next (the receiver), where it is either absorbed or returns back to the original sender cell.

In a Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine found that the drug relieved some syndromes of IBS and improved the well-being of group with IBS.
