Can the bladder be involved in endometriosis?

Condition analysis: 

Endometriosis is commonly seen lying over the bladder but involvement of the bladder itself is uncommon. When it does occur it is usually associated with wide spread pelvic endometriosis. More uncommonly it may be seen in isolation after a caesarean section. It is postulated that in these cases the endometriosis may have spread to the bladder during surgery. Women with this condition often complain of having to urinate urgently and frequency with difficulty or pain. Clinical examination followed by ultrasound and cystoscopy confirms the diagnosis. Blood in the urine is not common. Medical management will relieve symptoms but recurrence is almost inevitable when it is stopped. Surgical removal of the endometriosis from the bladder wall is the most effective treatment and this is can be easily performed during laparoscopic surgery. 

Instructions: 

Flax Seed: Flax seed works well to combat endometriosis symptoms as well.

What to do:

-- In a glass of water, mix 1 – 2 Tbsp of freshly ground flax seed.

-- You can drink the mixture every day for several weeks.

-- Smoothies, salads and soups are good places to introduce flax seed into your diet as well.

How it works:

Flax seed helps to eliminate harmful toxins and they also prevent the growth of abnormal endometrial tissue.
