Endometeriosis

Endometriosis is an endorcrine disease or “ disorder” that occurs when cells from the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other areas of the body. This can lead to pain, irregular bleeding, and to infertility in most cases. Endometeriosis affects an estimated 89 million women and girls around the world, regardless to the ethnicity and race. The frequency of allergies, asthma, and chemical sensitivities in women with endometriosis is higher than in the general population. Additionally, Women with endometriosis are at higher risk of autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancers. According to a study addressed by Endometriosis Association, Infertility affects approximately 40% of women with endometriosis and can be related directly to dioxins which has been used in sanitary napkins and tampons.These products have a semi-synthetic substance called rayon which has been used in these products to achieve maximum absorption. The pads are bleached during the final stage of production, not to mention this bleaching process releases dioxins from the rayon as a bi-product and it can contribute to Endometeriosis in the long run!!
