What you will learn in this episode
In this episode, Carole Minker explains what an endometriotic injury becomes over time. From its birth to its transformation into fibrotic tissue, you will understand why fibrosis and adhesions can continue to cause pain even after surgery, and what concrete solutions exist to act on it.
The life of a lesion
An endometriotic injury does not remain fixed. It is born, develops, then evolves. Here are its main steps:
- Endometriosis cells stick to a support, for example, the bladder or intestine, and begin to multiply under the influence of estrogens and inflammation.
- The active lesion can be the site of micro-bleeding, which maintains inflammation and pain.
- Over time, it weakens and becomes what is called a black or blue-black lesion: it is at the end of life.
- It is then transformed into a white lesion, which corresponds to fibrosis or adhesions.
💡 Key figures
Fibrosis and adhesions: a tissue that is still active
For a long time it was believed that fibrosis was dead tissue, simply mechanically annoying. Today we know that this is not the case. The cells that make it up, which Carole calls zombie cells, no longer multiply and no longer respond to estrogens. But they continue to maintain inflammation.
This is why some women continue to have pain even though a doctor tells them that there are no more visible lesions.
Adhesions, on the other hand, form links between organs that should not be glued together. Everything can end up frozen in the lower abdomen, with both inflammatory and mechanical consequences. In the most severe cases, we speak of a frozen pelvis.
Surgery: when to go, when not to go
Surgery removes active lesions or fibrous areas. But any opening creates healing inflammation, which is itself a risk factor for the development of new lesions. That is why the surgeon should always weigh the pros and cons.
Some women have what is called a surgical belly: in this case, the risks of operating exceed the expected benefits.
Carole also mentions that cesarean section scars can, sometimes years later, become a place for new lesions to develop.
Natural solutions
To act on fibrosis and adhesions that have already formed, several approaches exist.
Serrapeptase is a natural enzyme extracted from the intestine of the silkworm. Its particularity: It only attacks fibrous tissue without touching healthy tissue. It is taken over about two months, like a punch treatment.
⚠️ It is contraindicated in case of coagulation disorders or taking anticoagulants.
Post-operatively, Carole recommends waiting at least two weeks before starting.
Omega-3 is the basic foundation for supporting the inflammatory response. From them, the body makes molecules called resolvins, whose role is to stop inflammation. When this mechanism is not enough, it is possible to supplement pre-resolvins directly to give an additional boost. An entire episode will be dedicated to omega-3 in this program.
Staying well hydrated is also essential, especially during a serrapeptase treatment, to help the body eliminate debris.
Movement is essential to improve endometriosis
The lymphatic system is the only system in the body that can unclog toxins and debris deep within the tissues. And it only starts through movement. No need for intense effort:
- Walk regularly
- Do gentle yoga or qigong
- Go to the pool
- Getting around by bike
Any gentle and regular movement helps to clean and prevent adhesions from getting worse.
🔎 Useful definitions
Fibrosis : hard and resistant scar tissue that forms in the place of an endometriotic lesion at the end of life. Long considered inactive tissue, fibrosis actually contains cells that continue to maintain inflammation.
___
Adhesions : abnormal fibrous bonds that form between organs that should not be stuck together. They can cause mechanical pain and interfere with the proper functioning of the pelvic organs.
___
Resolvines : molecules made by the body from omega-3, whose role is to end inflammation. When the body does not produce enough of it, direct supplementation can help.
🎯 Actions concrètes
- Move slowly every day. Walking, gentle yoga, qigong, cycling, swimming: any regular movement activates the lymphatic system, which is the only one capable of cleaning toxins deep into the tissue.
- Ensure an adequate supply of omega-3: they constitute the basic basis for supporting the inflammatory response.
- A dedicated episode in this program will help you choose them well.
- In case of fibrosis or proven adhesions, find out about serrapeptase: it only attacks fibrous tissue.
- If you have just had surgery, wait at least two weeks and consider it with the support of a health professional.
- Attention ⚠️: serrepetase is contraindicated in case of coagulation disorders or taking anticoagulants.
- Stay well hydrated during a serrapeptase treatment to help the body eliminate debris.
- Consult a physiotherapist specialized in pelviperineology or an osteopath: whether before, during or after an operation, these professionals can help to work on tissue mobility and limit the worsening of adhesions.
