10 Years ago I struggled with Endometreosis!

Some of you may have seen that I recently posted on instagram that was an endometreosis sufferer. www.instagram.com/sueevansnutrition  

As you will see on my about page, I had a long history on hormones balances throughout my life and eventually was diagnosed with edometreosis. I am going to post more of my story over the next few weeks and how I eventually received a letter that stated

“No endometreosis detected” from a consultant.

For now, here are a few pieces of information about Endometerios:-

• Endometreosis is a condition where tissue on the lining of the womb can grow outside of the womb
• It can be very painful and cause heavy and long periods called Menorrhagia
• Women with endometreosis can sometimes become anaemic due to heavy blood loss
• Oestrogen dominance can be a factor in establishing endometreosis with elevated oestrogen attributing to inflammation in the body
• Oestrogen if not excreted can be recirculated around the body, causing excess work for the liver
• Methylation is a process that is required for hormone detoxification
• Constipation can sometimes be a factor in endometreosis
• Adequate fibre can help alleviate symptoms of constipation
