New study finds key cause of pelvic pain for women with endometriosis

Breaking News: Key cause of pelvic pain for women with endometriosis discovered! Dr. Andrew Cook, an Endometriosis Specialist, talks about it here. Transcript below: From: https://www.vitalhealth.com/ Hi, I'm here with some exciting news. There was actually a study published earlier this month, that is showing one of the key causes of the reason for pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. This team focused on the type of immune cell white blood cell called the macrophage. And macrophage comes from Greek term, big eater, “macro,” big “phage” eater. And really, they're kind of the garbage collectors, or they eat up different things actually I have a picture here of one eating some bacteria. And so the lead bacteria cells as they’re dying off, and a variety of other things, the macrophage kind of cleans up the place. And then, depending on where in the body and what the role is, they'll actually release different substances that help someone in the case of there's not enough oxygen and a tissue is trying to heal it will stimulate the new blood vessel. So they can really be good and helpful in the body. But It turns out that the local environment, the signals can change the behavior of these macrophages. And It turns out that they're actually drawn into the endometriosis lesions, so if you look at the lesions themselves there is a pack full of these macrophages. And It turns out, they're kind of macrophages gone bad. Because it turns out that what they've discovered is that under the influence of endometriosis the macrophages and then producing what's called insulin like growth factor 1 or IGF-1. And What that does is stimulate the nerve cells to grow and culture and actually becomes more sensitive. So it's a way of creating oversensitivity, kinda like a sunburn inside. And so, this is a great understanding and again, macrophages, if you don't remember the word, You've got “MGB” macrophages gone bad. So, you know, they can be good, but these are kind of turned into juvenile delinquents, and they're raising havoc in the pelvis. But part of the good news is that allows us a venue to study and to better understand and hopefully provide better treatment. So both pain relief and maybe even as a way to tag the endo so we can find it and get rid of it one way or another. So for you, geekoids out there, the title of the article: Macrophage-derived insulin-like growth factor-1 is a key neurotrophic and nerve-sensitizing factor in pain associated with endometriosis. (link: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases... ) So let me know what you think. I know this is getting a little bit more technical, but I've always been of the belief that women with endo are very educated, very smart, and very capable. So just trying to pass this information on to you and I think it's a great study. All right. Take care.
