Eating the right fats may decrease a woman's risk of endometriosis, researchers say. Women with the highest intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids were 2.2% less likely to be diagnosed with the condition than those with the lowest intake..., Stacey A. Missmer, ScD, of Harvard and colleagues reported online in Human Reproduction.
On the other hand, eating too much trans fat increased the risk of developing endometriosis... They said the findings may indicate that diet is a potentially modifiable risk factor for the disorder. The etiology of endometriosis is unclear, but there's a growing body of literature suggesting that dietary factors and the physiologic processes associated with endometriosis are related.

DERAILED Memoirs of a Botched Hysterectomy - Hysterectomy to Remove Fibroids and Cyst - Really was ENDOMETRIOSIS! How does an outwardly healthy 47-year old woman's "routine hysterectomy" become an 18-day ordeal spanning 2 hospitals, 4 surgeries, and $400,000 in medical bills?
DERAILED is a true story - one woman's terrifying journey through a seemingly endless comedy of errors, miss-diagnosis, and near-death experiences. The reader will find themselves immersed in the constant stream of turmoil experienced by the unsuspecting patient; including cover ups, good doctors protecting bad doctors, and hospitals pitted against the other. Who is she? She is any woman, anywhere and everywhere.
Written by a woman unwilling to give up, the author's light hearted approach will endear you to the class and dignity she portrays; including scores of useful medical facts based upon subsequent research in the areas of fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, blood transfusions, drugs, blood clots, bypass implants, and more - all things she endured as a result of a so called "routine hysterectomy."
