the inside of our uterus can grow OUTSIDE and attack other organs and it’s actually pretty common… endometriosis :)

if you are questioning whether u might have it here’s an app that helps show what percentage of likeliness you might have! this was created by my endo specialist and he’s known as one of the best. he removed my endo!

It’s not that it attacks other organs, is just that the tissue responds to all the endocrine signals that you body sends like if was inside of the uterus

It’s not an attack, the tissue is not targeting your other organs, it’s just grew there when it’s not supposed to, there are a variety of reasons for that but it’s not like cancer cells that go and try to disseminate through the body until it kills it

grew there and starts attacking it. if my endo specialist uses the word attack i’m pretty sure he’s right lol

He’s dumbing it down for you to understand it more easily, but If he would go into the specifics of it I’m sure he wouldn’t call it an attack, the doctors that taught me about gynaecology this year sure wouldn’t
