Endometriosis is one of those mysterious diseases, the cause of which science cannot explain exactly. There is little data on the prevalence of the disease, because many women simply do not go to the doctor, believing that abdominal pain during menstruation is normal, well, or almost normal.
According to statistics, most often the problem occurs in women aged 25-30 years. When a woman leaves reproductive age, pathology almost never occurs in her, just as it does not occur in girls at a young age.
General information
Endometriosis of the uterus is a gynecological pathology in which endometrial cells (this is the inner uterine layer) fall outside the uterus and begin to grow. These cells are very sensitive to sex hormones, which determines the monthly menstrual cycle: under the influence of hormones, the endometrium grows and under hormonal influence begins to be rejected, if conception did not occur, there is no embryo in the uterus.
If endometrial cells grow outside the uterus, they do not lose sensitivity to hormones, but only grow and are rejected monthly where they are - in the intestines, navel, within the reproductive system, but outside the main reproductive organ... Why this happens, medicine cannot answer. There are only assumptions about gene mutations, disorders of cell metabolism, and so on.

Endometriosis is manifested by pain in the abdomen, in the pelvic region, menstrual irregularities, more abundant periods, longer periods than before, pain during intercourse may occur. In severe cases, it is painful to empty the bowels and bladder. Endometriosis is considered one of the causes of female infertility.
Psychosomatics of the disease
Since we are talking about the cells of the structural layer of the uterus, psychosomatics considers endometriosis as a disorder of female self-identification. Psychoanalysts call this gender identification. Not a single child in the world is born with an understanding of what gender he belongs to. Until a certain age, everyone grows up in the same rompers and diapers, wearing the same overalls, differing only in color. And only then the child begins to relate himself to one gender or another, which completely depends on what gender his parents refer to.
In puberty, a girl either happily takes on the role of a future woman, or begins to abandon her, adopting a male model of behavior.
Families where a girl sees how her mother is suffering, or is experiencing maternal aggression on herself, with a high degree of probability, will not fully accept her own feminine principle, it will be unpleasant for her.
It is these girls who mainly choose male professions, make friends mainly with men, compete and compete with them, become champions in boxing, auto racing, and powerlifting.
The feminine principle in such a woman is blurry, not specified, she does not perceive it as a dominant in her life, in connection with which gradually, at the subconscious level, “blurring” and physical develops - the cells of the main female reproductive organ spread to where they do not belong at all, are lost natural boundaries of the endometrium.
The second probable cause of psychosomatic medicine considers the woman's lack of a sense of security and her own "home" (in the general sense of the word). This means that a woman at any time is ready to rush out in search of a new "home", cozy and safe. But there, most likely, she will not find him. The keeper simply does not have a psychological safe focus.
Pain against the background of endometriosis without loss of reproductive function is characteristic of women who see something shameful in their genitals, in their nature, in sex and treat it accordingly.
Infertility against the background of endometriosis develops in women who deny the feminine principle so much that they do not want to be mothers (they are subconsciously afraid of childbirth, they are afraid not to raise and raise a child as a decent person, they have a fear that they will not cope financially and physically).
Another large category of endometriosis patients are women who really want to get pregnant. They have elevated this idea to the rank of obsessions, they torture themselves and those around them. As a result, the endometrium against the hormonal background creates an additional, extra layer, and this is what underlies the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis (the proliferation of endometrial cells into the muscle tissue of the uterus, followed by inflammation of the latter).
But also, according to researchers in the field of psychosomatic medicine, endometriosis can develop in women who are too demanding, in a dictatorial way towards their partners, who despise or hate men in general and the partner in particular. Often, the prerequisites for the disease are created in childhood, when the girl's relationship with her father is not developing in the best way.
Treatment
Many psychiatrists and psychoanalysts regard endometriosis and adenomyosis as a psychogenic autoimmune pathological condition. The focus of excitation in the cerebral cortex is caused by one of the above factors, this is how the pathological process starts, namely: the proliferation of endometrial cells is not at all where it is provided by nature.
Revealing the true cause is the main condition for a successful cure, especially since traditional medicine cannot offer a sick woman anything special. Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed for pain, which do not bring recovery closer. They are trying to fight the foci of proliferation of endometrial cells with hormones, but so far no particular effectiveness of hormonal treatment has been found. Surgery to remove all lesions is the only way out, but even here there is a high probability that the problem will come back again.
In this way, psychocorrection is indispensable.
Only by eliminating the main cause, realizing the psychology of her illness, a woman can cope with the focus of activity in the cortex, and the development of endometrial cells will slow down, and then, it is possible that it will stop altogether.
It is important for a woman to feel like a woman, to adequately relate to pregnancy and childbirth, not forbidding herself to get pregnant and not trying to get pregnant at any cost.
It is important to have a respectful and positive attitude towards men, towards a partner who is nearby, towards your own father, brother, male friends and acquaintances. Only by revising attitudes that are destructive for a woman can one cope with such a strange and difficult to explain phenomenon as endometriosis.
