CBD: an effective way to reduce the symptoms of endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a highly inflammatory gynecological disorder  that usually occurs in women of childbearing age and is related to the course of the menstrual cycle. Indeed, it appears for various reasons not yet elucidated by science and consists of an abnormal migration of the endometrium to totally random parts of the body.

Having to be evacuated at the beginning of the menstrual cycle in a woman without any condition, the endometrium in women with endometriosis migrates and settles, for example, in the bladder, in the ovaries and in several other organs of the abdominal cavity.  

The foreign cells once installed will over time create an ideal framework for their development. Nerve connections are therefore established giving rise to intense pain that is difficult to bear during menstruation and even outside of it.

The main symptoms of endometriosis include  menstrual pain, pain during sexual intercourse, abdominal, back and uterine pain during and outside menstruation, nausea and even infertility in more severe cases.

Very difficult to diagnose and currently with no definitive treatment, endometriosis can still be mitigated in different ways.  The use of CBD molecules appears to be an effective solution and capable of relieving the effects of the disease in many ways.

Cannabidiol is an organic molecule that has been sought after for many years in the treatment of chronic inflammations related to bones or muscles.

Its effects on the immune system and hormonal regulation are beyond doubt.

In the case of dysmenorrhea and endometriosis in general, the CBD molecule acts at different levels to significantly alleviate pain and the various imbalances caused by the disease.

One of the main effects of CBD consumed in cases of endometriosis is the reduction of pain experienced by patients. Different receptors activated by substances produced by migrating cells are the basis of the pain felt by patients. A controlled intake of CBD makes it possible to desensitize these receptors thus reducing the foci at the base of the intense pain characteristic of endometriosis.  

Various studies highlight the effectiveness of CBD in deactivating the TRPV1 receptor at the basis of the painful processes of endometriosis. CBD would also have an important role in regulating the uncontrolled nerve growth at the root of pain in cases of endometriosis.

Uncontrolled cell growth and migration to other organs are the main causes of endometriosis. Being able to control these processes is one way to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. CBD therefore allows a better regulation of apoptosis processes thus leading to a programmed death of unnecessary cells and a regulation of their growth and uncontrolled migration.
