Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where does the endometriosis disease normally begin?

Answer: uterus

Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus appears outside the uterus and becomes attached to other reproductive or abdominal organs. There is no known cause or reason, but it can be hereditary. ('Time-Life Medical Book' by Dr.C Everett Koop, M.D.)

2. What problem can endometriosis cause that may lead to its detection?

Answer: infertility

Due to lack of ovulation, many women that develop endometriosis cannot have children without the help of in-vitro fertilization or an infertility specialist.

3. Other organs may also be affected by endometriosis.

Answer: True

Many woman that suffer with endometriosis have had it spread to their rectum, bladder, pancreas, and intestine, which causes severe pain.

4. What may be a daily side effect of living with endometriosis for many sufferers?

Answer: Severe abdominal pain

Your uterine tissues release blood into the outside of the uterus or abdominal cavity causing lesions and severe abdominal pain. For many women it is debilitating.

5. There is a non-surgical cure for endometriosis.

Answer: False

There is no known cure for endometriosis. There are forms of treatment but no guarantees that it will work to permanently halt the growth of this disease. Sometimes progesterone may help alleviate some of the pain, but it will not stop endometriosis growth.
