	Nurse and women's health educator Debbie DeAngelo in her book, "Sudden Menopause" says: Endometriosis This condition occurs when tissue from the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) attaches itself to other organs, usually in the pelvic area. Organs often affected include the fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, and bowel. Since the tissue originated inside of the uterus, it responds to the monthly hormonal cycle in the same way the uterus does. It builds and grows, then breaks down and bleeds. The inflammation and internal bleeding can result in the formation of scar tissue and symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful intercourse, heavy menstrual flow, fatigue, painful bowel movements, constipation, and diarrhea. Endometriosis also is a cause of infertility. Read the rest of the FREE chapter from Debbie's book Lupron & Endometriosis Lupron is a medication that is given as a shot to shrink uterine fibroids. This is a regimen that physicians prescribe to control endometriosis. It is similar to a chemical produced in our brains that prevents the release of the hormones FSH (follocular stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone).
