They are found in the lower part of the pelvis near the ends of the fallopian tubes. They contain thousands of eggs, also known as ova. Each egg is held within a structure called a follicle.  \nThe menstrual cycle is counted from Day 1 of a menstrual period until Day 1 of the next period and isan average of 28 days long (between 25 and 35 days is considered to be normal) .  \nJust as a period is ending, an area of the brain produces a hormone that travels through the blood stream. (Hormones are chemicals produced by the body. They control or regulate the actions of certain cells or organs) . This hormone causes the ovaries to start preparing an egg for ovulation. As the egg matures, its follicle produces another hormone called estrogen. Estrogen causes the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to become thicker.  \nWhen the egg is mature and the amount of estrogen has reached a certain level, another hormone sent from the brain causes the egg to be released from the ovary. This is called ovulation. It occurs about 14 days before the next period begins.  \nThe cells remaining in the follicle form the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum produces estrogen and another hormone, progesterone, over the next 2 weeks. The hormones cause the lining of the uterus to become thicker and rich with blood vessels to support a pregnancy. This is called the pre-menstrual phase of the cycle.  \nIf there are sperm in the fallopian tubes, the egg may become fertilized. The fertilized egg then moves through the tube to the uterus. If it implants, a pregnancy has been started.  \nIf no pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum will break down and stop producing hormones. This causes the lining of the uterus to be shed, and is known as the menstrual period.  \ncont’d...  \n4500 Oak Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6H 3N1 ® Phone: 604-875-2534  \nAbout the Menstrual Cycle and Pelvic Pain:  \nMany women have some cramps or discomfort before or during their menstrual periods. In women with endometriosis the pain can be very severe. It may occur throughout the menstrual cycle. It is often much worse during the menstrual period.  \nEndometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus (the endometrium) is also present in areas within the pelvis and outside of the uterus. During each menstrual cycle the endometrial tissue outside of the uterus responds to hormone signals in the same way that the endometrium inside the uterus does. It builds up and then breaks down, causing the release of Prostaglandin (a hormone that causes muscles to cramp) along with areas of inflammation and pain.  \nEndometriosis also causes the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to act differently. It produces a higher level of hormones such as prostaglandins that cause severe cramping and pain. These hormones also sometimes cause abnormal bleeding (heavy periods or spotting between periods) .  \nUterus  \nFallopian  \nTube  \nEndometriosis Lesions  \nOne of the treatments for endometriosis uses hormones that stop the menstrual cycle. This reduces the activity of endometrial tissue and results in less pain and bleeding.  \nHormonal Treatments for Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain  \nThere are four levels of treatment that can be used to stop (suppress) the natural menstrual cycle in order to control pelvic pain:  \nStep  \nOne:  \nOvulation suppression using the Birth Control Pill, Birth Control Patch, or Vaginal Ring  \nMost birth control pills (BCP), the contraceptive patch (Evra®) and contraceptive ring (NuvaRing®) contain a combination of two hormones, estrogen and progesterone. If taken or used for 21 days, starting from the first day of the menstrual cycle with no breaks, the levels of these hormones in the woman’s body do not rise and fall. The ovary is not signalled to prepare an egg, and ovulation does not happen.
