How to Treat Scar Endometriosis with Herbal Remedies ?
Scar Endometriosis is a rare, difficult to diagnose disease which affects women, especially in the reproductive age. Women affected by the condition develop a painful mass/lump in a surgical scar, due to an abnormal growth of the endometrial tissue.The endometrial tissue is usually present inside uterus of a woman. The tissue supports pregnancy and also sheds itself every month during a woman’s menstrual cycle. But, in women suffering from Scar Endometriosis, the endometrial tissue develops abnormally outside the uterine cavity and forms a painful mass which becomes worse during menstruation.
Scar Endometriosis can, therefore, be described as a kind of extrapelvic endometriosis. The condition characteristically marks the presence of endometrial cells outside the pelvic region. The sites at which extrapelvic endometriosis usually develops include the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, vagina, cervix, bowel, bladder, the lining of the abdominal cavity, lungs and other organs.One of the rare sites of extrapelvic endometriosis is a previous surgical scar on the abdominal wall. The condition presents itself with pain and swelling at scar site after an obstetric or gynaecological surgery.
Scar Endometriosis can typically be diagnosed after the cutting out of the diseased endometrial tissue. Sometimes, the condition can be misdiagnosed by doctors after a woman’s pregnancy because the endometrial tissue may grow in the incision site of the stomach after a woman undergoes a Caesarean delivery (C-section).The exact cause of Endometriosis is not known. But, it is believed that the condition occurs because of retrograde menstruation that is, the movement of portions of wayward endometrial cells upward through the fallopian tube rather than downward through the vagina.
Scar Endometriosis : The Ayurvedic Viewpoint
According to Ayurveda, retrograde menstruation which is apparently a cause of Scar Endometriosis occurs due to the body’s disturbed Vata dosha. The Vata has five sub-types which are responsible for directing the movements in the body in the upward, downward, around, inward, and outward directions.
The occurrence of Scar Endometriosis is linked to the Apana Vata sub-type which governs the initiation of the body’s elimination impulses, including menstruation, urination, bowel motions, ejaculation, and child birth. Since one of the downward processes governed by the Apana Vata is the removal of waste or unwanted materials from the body, any obstruction to it can lead to potential health complications.
Scar Endometriosis is a condition in which obstruction to, and subsequent upward movement of, Apana Vata causes a part of the endometrium that should be passed out during menstruation to propel upward via the fallopian tubes and into the peritoneal cavity.
