Endometriosis

Endometriosis. Computer artwork of endrometriomas, masses of cells from the lining of the uterus, thickening (right) and bleeding (bottom). Endometriosis is the movement of cells from the lining of the uterus to the abdominal cavity. The cells still respond to the menstrual cycle and so bleed once a month. However, the blood has no way of leaving the body and so causes pain, inflammation and scar tissue, and can lead to infertility

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and complex nature of endometriosis, a debilitating condition that affects millions of women worldwide. In this computer artwork, we witness the formation of endrometriomas - masses of cells originating from the lining of the uterus. The image vividly portrays two key aspects associated with endometriosis: thickening and bleeding. As these displaced uterine cells migrate to the abdominal cavity, they continue to respond to the menstrual cycle, resulting in monthly bleeding. However, unlike normal menstruation where blood can exit the body through natural means, in endometriosis, it becomes trapped within causing immense pain and inflammation. Furthermore, this condition can lead to infertility due to scarring caused by repeated episodes of internal bleeding. The visual representation highlights how this disorder disrupts not only a woman's reproductive system but also her overall health. Through this medical illustration created using advanced computer technology, viewers gain insight into an often misunderstood disease that impacts countless lives. It serves as a reminder for healthcare professionals and individuals alike about the urgent need for further research and improved treatment options for those affected by endometriosis.
