Why is endometriosis so difficult to cure?
In: 20
Well, for starters we still don’t know why someone gets endometriosis. Old theories like retrograde menstruation have not conclusive evidence. They are new studies popping up, one cites finding a bacterial link.
It has been found in embryos, in people without a uterus and in/on every organ in the body.
On top of that there are different types of endometriosis lesions meaning that some grow much faster than others or behave differently when treated with medication.
It’s very hard to pinpoint the disease which makes it hard to treat.
Endometriosis is not curable as of current medical standards. It is a chronic illness that many people deal with their entire life.
