5 Ways CBD Can Help with Endometriosis
Reportedly, up to one in five women who visit a gynecologist suffers from a condition called endometriosis. This can completely disable a woman and prevent her from performing daily activities. The most common problem is extensive inflammation accompanied by pain. As is known, medical cannabis has strong anti-inflammatory effects. Could CBD be used in the treatment of endometriosis?
What is endometriosis?
This is a condition that affects the health of women in reproductive age. They experience a state where uterine cavity cells, called endometrium, are located outside their natural area. Usually, they spread in pelvic areas, such as fallopian tubes, intestines, or ovaries, but occasionally also affect other body parts – for example lungs or even the brain.
This incorrectly placed endometrial tissue causes inflammation accompanied by pain. After some time, these clusters of uterine cells break down, but the body cannot eliminate them, so they get trapped in these areas and create scars.
Immune system problems poorly detect and destroy endometrial tissues, and women with immune disorders are more likely to develop cancer. Some experts suggest that the estrogen hormone can also contribute to endometriosis. A rare case is the transfer of tissue during surgical intervention to inappropriate body parts.
