Here's the million dollar question: "What is endometriosis?" Endometriosis is a condition in which cells similar to those in the endometrium, (the layer of tissue that normally covers the inside of the uterus) grow outside of it. Most often this is on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissue around the uterus and ovaries; however, in rare cases it may also occur in other parts of the body. The main symptoms are pelvic pain (especially during mensuration) and infertility. The best thing to do is to maintain a proper diet to eliminate most of the pain. Certain foods to avoid would be, Wheat, Dairy, Red Meat, Trans Fat, Soy, Alcohol, Processed Foods and refined Sugars. For these foods continue to aggravate the symptoms.
