TO BE BROUGHT METEOROLOGIST CANDACE CAMPOS AND TRAFFIC SAFETY EXPERT TROOPER STEVE.
THIS IS NEWS. 6 AT 09:00AM
GETTING RESULTS.
>> JULIE: MANY WOMEN
EXPERIENCE PUBLIC PAIN AT SOME
POINT THEIR LIVES. BUT FOR
SOME, IT CAN BE INDICATIVE OF
A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS
ONE IN 10 WOMEN HAVE
ENDOMETRIOSIS. BUT WHAT
EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?
BRIDGET IS STANDING BY NOW TO
ASK A DOCTOR.
♪
>> BRIDGETT: ALTHOUGH PELVIC
PAIN CAN RELATIVELY BE COMMON
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS AND
WOMEN, IT’S NOT NECESSARILY
SOMETHING YOU WANT TO IGNORE
FOR SOME. IT CAN BE A SIGN OF
ENDOMETRIOSIS AND THAT’S WHY
WE HAVE DOCTOR MARK HOLLIS
HERE. A REPRODUCTIVE
ENDOCRINOLOGIST WITH OVIEDO
MEDICAL CENTER. THANKS FOR
COMING IN. MY PLEASURE. THANK
YOU. INVITED ME IN PRISON. WE
KNOW THIS IS VERY COMMON, BUT
IT OFTEN GOES UNDIAGNOSED. WHY
IS THAT?
>> WELL, BECAUSE PROBABLY
THESE 2 THINGS, ONE OF THE IS
IS AWARENESS FROM THE
PHYSICIAN AND THE SECOND IS
THAT IT REQUIRES SURGERY
TYPICALLY TO MAKE THE
DIAGNOSIS, YOU KNOW, FROM THE
TIME THAT A WOMAN HAS SYMPTOMS
UNTIL SHE GETS DIAGNOSED COULD
BE UP TO 10 YEARS AND SHE’S
SUFFERING FOR ALL THAT TIME.
NOT THE ONLY TIME THAT YOU
COULD PROBABLY MAKE THE
DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT SURGERY IS
WHEN ULTRASOUND OR MRI CAN SEE
THE SYSTEM WE CHOSE IS ON THE
OVER ITSELF. AND THAT’S TO BE
TRAUMA. BUT THE REAL QUESTION
IS WHAT SENT HIM A JUSTICE?
THE NORMAL LINING OF THE
YEARS? YOU KNOW, ANY MONTH, A
WOMAN, THE RIGHT BUILDS UP THE
LINE AND THEN SHE HAS THAT
PERIOD. BUT IT’S THE NORMAL
LINING OF THE UTERUS. ANYWHERE
IN THE BODY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO
BE. AND DO YOU KNOW THAT THAT
NORMAL TISSUE OF THE LINING OF
THE UTERUS HAS BEEN FOUND IN
EVERY ORGAN SYSTEM. THE CELLS
ARE EVERYWHERE, CAN CAN BE
SPREAD TO THOSE OTHER PLACES.
WOMEN COULD HAVE IN THE LUNGS
AND THE BRAIN. AND NOW
RECENTLY AND THIS BEING FINAL.
SO THEY’RE FINDING MORE
CONNECTIONS THERE. DO WE KNOW
WHAT CAUSES THIS, WHY SOME
WOMEN, YOU KNOW, STRUGGLE WITH
THIS CONDITION BECAUSE IT IS
PAINFUL. GREAT QUESTION. AND
THE MOST PREVAILING THEORY,
BRIDGET, IS THAT WHILE THE MEN
STILL FLOWS OUT TO JOHN A, YOU
ALSO CAN GO BACK THROUGH THE
TUBES AND IMPLANT MOST
COMMONLY IN THE OVARIES, BUT
IT COULD BE IN THE FALLOPIAN
TUBES COULD BE IN THE PELVIS.
IT COULD TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE
INTESTINES AND CAUSE SEVERE
PELVIC PAIN AND TO BE JUST AS
IS ASSOCIATED WITH TO CHRONIC
PROBLEMS, ONE IS PAIN AND THE
OTHER ONE IS INFERTILITY UP TO
50% OF PEOPLE WITH
ENDOMETRIOSIS. WHEN YOU CAN
HAVE INFERTILITY AND UP TO 50%
OF PATIENTS WHO PRESENT WITH
HIM TO THE CAN HAVE AN SHOWS
US IT IS DEBILITATING DISEASE.
190 MILLION PEOPLE AND THE
WORLD HE’S ESTIMATED TO HAVE
INTIMATE SHOWS US MANY TIMES.
THAT’S WHEN WOMEN.
>> BRIDGETT: FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THIS IS DOING DURING
THEIR FERTILITY JOURNEY. SO
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO GET THROUGH
THAT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A
SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY? WELL,
IT’S A GREAT QUESTION. AND
>> THE TREATMENT OF IS REALLY
BASED ON WHAT THE WOMAN IS IS
EXPERIENCING THE MOST CONCERNS
WITH IS IT FERTILITY OR PAIN?
IT’S PAIN. THEN YOU’RE TAKING
A LOOK AT SURGERY AND YOU
REALLY SHOULD BE SEEING A
PUBLIC PAIN. SPECIALIST TO DO
THAT KIND OF SURGERY. THE
FIRST LINE TREATMENT FOR THEM
JUSTICE. IT’S TYPICALLY ANTI
INFLAMMATORY MEDICATION AND
THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL, WHICH
CAN KEEP ESTROGEN AT BAY
BECAUSE IT’S AN ESTROGEN
DEPENDENT DISEASE. FOR
INFERTILITY. YOU DON’T REALLY
HAVE TO DO ROSCOE P ON THIS IS
A SUSPICION OF VERY ADVANCED.
AND THE SAYS OR FLIPPING TO
BLOCKAGE WITH THAT CONCERN OF
AN SAYS. BUT IF YOU’RE GOING
TO BE DOING SAY SOMETHING LIKE
IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, WHICH
IS A VERY ADVANCED ASSIST, IF
YOU PUT THAT TECHNOLOGY, YOU
KNOW, REALLY NEED TO DO
SURGERY BEFORE THAT TIME. BUT
SURGERY MAY HELP A WOMAN BE
ABLE TO CONCEIVE NATURALLY
WITHIN THE TRUST. AND WE JUST
HOPE AND WHAT HAPPENS DURING
THAT SURGERY. WHAT WHAT DO
THEY WHAT DO THE DOCTORS DO
TO, YOU KNOW, IMPROVE THE
CONDITIONS AND YOU REALLY TRY
TO REMOVE IT OR EXCISE. THE IN
THE SAYS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
IF IT’S A CYST ON THE OVARY
JUST DRAIN THE CYST. YOU
REALLY GO INTO THE OVARY AND
REMOVE THAT NOW THE GOOD AND
BAD OF THAT IS YES. YOU
REMOVING THE CYST, BUT YOU’RE
ALSO REMOVING SOME HEALTHY
OVARIAN TISSUE. SO THERE’S
SOME RISK INVOLVED WHETHER YOU
CAN ACCELERATE OVARIAN AGING
WOMEN COULD LOSE THEIR ACHES.
SO THEY MAY EVEN WANT TO DO
SOME FOR TO THE PRESERVATION
TO FREEZE THEIR EGGS. IF
THERE’S A CONCERN THAT THEY’RE
GOING TO BE DOING EXTENSIVE.
WE LIVE IN THE JUSTICE OF THE
OVARIES. OKAY.
>> JULIE: AND SO WHEN IT COMES
TO, YOU KNOW, THE AWARENESS,
THIS IS THE AWARENESS YOU
KNOW, WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO TO
JUST TRY TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THIS, THAT THEY SUSPECT
THAT THEY WANT THEIR LOVED
ONES MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING
ENDOMETRIOSIS. TERRIFIC
QUESTION IS ADVANCE THAT JUST
IS JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, THE
FDA APPROVES AN ALL TREATMENT
TO SUPPRESS THE SIGNALS OF THE
BRAIN TO THE OVER FOR MAKING
IT SUCH AN REGION TAG IN THIS
PIECE SEEN GOOD RESULTS.
AWARENESS IS KEY. OKAY. BN
DIMITRIOS ASSOCIATION. CAN
FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION
ABOUT THAT. THE AMERICAN
SOCIETY FOR REPRODUCTIVE
MEDICINE DOT ORG. THE AMERICAN
COLLEGE OF WHAT WE DO IN A C O
G DOT ORG. SO EMPOWERING WOMEN
WITH THE DISEASE IS KEY FOR
THEIR COMPLIANCE, THEIR
