The embryonic theory


        THE EMBRYONIC THEORY
Could you be born with cells that have within them the possibility of growing into a full-blown case of endometriosis? In answering this question, researchers noted that many women do not have any classical symptoms of endometriosis while having the disease. Another dilemma involved women who had undergone abdominal surgery; there it was found that masses had developed that contained endometriosis like cells. That is, these patients appeared to have the disease, but in fact, they did not. How might this happen?
Noteworthy embryo logical studies uncovered some fascinating evidence. During intrauterine life, the fetal reproductive organs germinate from different types of cells. Vaginal tissue originates from a different set of genetic blueprints than uterine tissue, although both organs have the quality and capability of, for example, elasticity to accommodate childbearing. These embryonic studies went on to show that the tissue lining the ovaries, the endometrium, and the peritoneum—the smooth, transparent, and highly sensitive membrane that lines the pelvic and abdominal cavity—all originated from the same embryonic cell membrane.
It was then postulated that some of these cells could be transformed into endometrial cells or endometrial like cells through repeated irritation, such as pelvic infections, or by hormonal stimulation. In many cases, the physiological result is identical to having actual endometrial cells run wild and implant themselves: pain, cramps, and possible infertility. Thu mimicking of the disease posed some conclusions that interest scientists. The story that follows reveals why.
