Evo pročitala sam ovo neki dan pa me malo zaintrigiralo, naime više puta mi je ustanovljena ta slobodna tekućina u Douglasu i imam endomtriozu
Q. I was told that the changes in the peritoneal fluid due to endometriosis is one of the causes of my infertility. What does this mean?
A. Peritoneal fluid is the fluid which every person has in their abdominal cavity and which functions as a lubricant for the abdominal and pelvic organs. It has become apparent in the past decade or so that the presence of endometriosis is associated with changes in this peritoneal fluid, its volume, its cellular population and its biochemistry. Generally, it has been shown that the volume of the fluid is increased in women with endometriosis. The leukocytes have also been shown to be increased in number in the fluid of patients with endometriosis.
Also, the prostaglandin hormone concentration has been reported to be elevated in peritoneal fluid as well as the level of proteolytic enzymes which are all consistent with the localized inflammatory reaction around the endometriotic implants. Since these hormones could each alter the environment of the peritoneal fluid, which is in very close proximity to the ovaries and tubes, it can potentially alter their function. In recent studies, it has been shown that the peritoneal fluid in patients with endometriosis can act as a toxin to an embryo and may even stop the growth of the embryo in its early stages.

Na koji način se to može spriječiti ako se uopće može?
