What Is The Cause of Endometriosis?

The cause is still unclear. Some argue that these cells wander out of the fallopian tubes. Other suggest they are displaced during the development of the foetus. Earlier Doctors have not described the conditions that women with endometriosis are suffering today. Some speculate that the new pollutants and lack of nutrition in our food is the cause since this disease and many others seem to have started with the industrialized society.

Endometriosis is a serious and painful condition, where the inner lining cells of the uterus become scattered to areas they don't belong, like the fallopian tubes, uterine musculature, the outer areas of the uterus, the colon, the bladder, and the sides of the pelvic cavity.
With each monthly cycle, the hormones trigger the cells to swell and bleed. With these cells being in the wrong areas of the body, cause inflammation and often disabling pain.

I Have Endometriosis. Can I Use a Natural progesterone Cream?

Yes! The cause of endometriosis is unclear. The fact remains that the effects can be very painful and disabling during menstruation. Dr. Lee states that he has treated a number of endometriosis patients, some after failed surgery, with Natural progesterone and has observed considerable success.

What Are The Symptoms of Endometriosis?

Endometriosis symptoms begin a few days before menstruation. The pain may be major or minor lower abdominal or pelvic pain. Some will notice pain during intercourse and bowel movements.

 How To Use Progesterone Cream

The aim of Natural progesterone is to block the monthly estrogen stimulus and thus, stop further proliferation of endometrial cells.

 It is advised in such cases that Natural progesterone cream be used from day 6 today 26 of the cycle using 1 oz. of cream per week for three weeks, stopping just before the expected period.

 Dr. Lee reported  that after 4 - 6 months of use the pains gradually subside as healing of the inflammatory sites occur. (What your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause) John R.Lee M.D.

 While the cause of endometriosis is unknown we do know that it is an estrogen driven disease. And the body's natural anti-oestrogen is progesterone.

We know that when a woman falls pregnant, often endometriosis will disappear, only to return again after pregnancy. There is some very strong correlation between the two. This suggests that the sex hormones are involved and that high progesterone levels produced in pregnancy play an important part in controlling this disease.

That's why progesterone is recommended from days 8 to 26 (just before menstruation) or whenever your normal menstrual cycle ends, breaking from cream briefly to refresh receptor sites.

This mimics a pseudo-pregnancy state, and facilitates healing.

Higher than normal doses are required which appear to be well tolerated. Levels around about 60~80mg/day are usually required for pain management.
You know you are taking too high a dose if you begin to feel sleepy after applying cream. Note that 1/4tsp is 30mgm of Serenity so you may need to use 1/2 to 3/4 of a spoon.
Most women will find that they can reduce their dosage of progesterone after 7-12 months, however, attempts to go below 40mg/day progesterone often allows symptoms to creep back in.

No one is suggesting progesterone cures endometriosis but we certainly know, based on empirical evidence that it appears to play a major role in controlling its distressing symptoms. We know that women who stopped progesterone felt great for a few months and then suddenly, after progesterone stores had washed from the body, the disease would flare back up.

Most women with endometriosis remain on progesterone cream for maintenance and pain control, and adjust their dose when necessary, increasing when indicated such as in times of stress.
