During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood, instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body to cause endometriosis. Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

The oral contraceptive pill is defined as one type of birth control pill containing both estrogen and progesterone that helps to control unwanted pregnancy and reducing symptoms of abdominal pain before, during or after menstrual cycle such as endometriosis, premenstrual symptoms etc.

The pill is taken 21 days on, 7 day off.
1. The intention
a) It will help to reduce the bleeding by thinning the endometrial lining and reducing the flow of the period blood that help to decreases the risk of retrograde menstruation in endometriosis.
b) It also helps to inhibit hormone prostaglandins that causes muscle spasm in the ovary reducing the menstrual cramps(5)(7).
c) Since the pill reduces the heavy bleeding(6) of endometriosis, it is lesser the risk of bleeding into cysts and pelvic cavity.
d) Managing the endometriosis(8) by creating a continual pregnant-like state.
e) Reduced menstrual symptoms, such as headaches, genital irritation, tiredness, bloating(7).

2.   Risks and side effects
a) Risks
i) Since the oral contraceptive combination pill contains estrogen, it may cause blood clots(3), stroke(3),  heart disease(1) and induced breast cancer(2)
ii) Hypertension(1) and increase heart rate(1) caused by thickening of blood in arteries.
b) Side effects
i) Bleeding and spotting(4) as our body needs time to adjust to the substance in the pill, Normally, the bleeding and spotting will end in six months.
ii) Weigh gain(9)(10)(11)(inconclusive result) caused by synthetic progesterone in the pill in some women.

Endometriosis: The Effects of Vitamin K(revised edition with references)

Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

Vitamin K was first discovered by Danish scientist Herrik Dam in 1929. It is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is best known for its ability of protein synthesis and blood coagulation. Dietary deficiency is extremely rare because it is produced by bacteria in the digestive system. Since it is fat soluble, it can be stored in our body and we do no need to take them regularly.

1. Nervous(1)(4) and circulation systems
Vitamin K activated protein Gas6 which has been shown to be actively involved in cell survival, chemotaxis, mitogenesis, and cell growth of neurons and glial cells(1). It also helps to convert glucose into glycogen(2) which is essential for improving the liver function in fighting against the forming of bad cholesterol accumulated(3) in the blood stream causing high blood pressure(3), making transportation of oxygen more difficult to the body's cell, increasing the risk of heart disease(4) and elevating tensions of nervous system. Glycogen can be stored in the liver, muscles, and can be used in case of deficiency.

2. Abnormal bleeding(5)(6) and menstrual Pain(7)
Vitamin K also helps in production of prothrombin which is an important substance for blood clotting. Women with endometriosis were found to have vitamin K deficiency leading to menstrual pain and  heavier than normal bleeding during menstruation.

3. Immune system
Since vitamin K helps to strengthen the liver's function(8)(9), indirectly it protects our body from environmental toxins and free radical invasion that may cause abnormal endometrial implants(9) and adhesion growing(9) somewhere else other than the endometrium as we mentioned in the other articles.

4. Cell Growth(10)(11)(12)
Vitamin K is also said to be an important vitamin that helps to regulate the cellular functions including cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and protection against the cell's cytoskeleton to break up the membrane and bulge outward causing the loss of membrane asymmetry and attachment. Deficiency of vitamin K may cause an increase in the risk of irregularity cellular growth, such as endometriosis.

5. Anemia(5)(6)(13)
Since vitamin K deficiency causes heavy bleeding for women with endometriosis adhered to the abdominal region leading to anemia as a result of depletion of red blood cells in the body or inability of the body to produce more red blood cell to cover the loss during menstruation

 Vitamin E, best known for its powerful antioxidant property is a fat soluble vitamin and can be stored in our body. We don't require to take it regularly.

1. Immune system(1)(2)
Since vitamin E is an antioxidant, it helps to increase liver function in fighting the forming of free radicals(4), abnormal cells and cancers(3). In endometriosis, it prevents the growth of abnormal endometrial cells to form implants and adhesion in other parts of the body excluding the endometrium.

2.  Cell protection(5)(6)
Since vitamin E protects the fatty acid against degradation in the human body(2) that helps to prevent against the oxidation in cell membranes and cellular regions resulting in protecting against the breaking off of the capillary wall causing heavy blood flow(7) during menstruation.

3. Red blood cells(9)
Deficiency of vitamin E in women with endometriosis were also found to have anemia(10). It is caused by the faster than normal aging of red blood cells because of oxidative destruction of red blood cells(8).

4.  Nervous system(11)
Since we already known that vitamin E is essential for increasing the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen in the circulation system, it helps to nourish the brain cells fighting against symptoms of endometriosis such as mood swings, anxiety, and depression.

5.  Hormone imbalance
Deficiency of vitamin E also interferes with normal functions of thyroid(12)(13) and pituitary(14) glands causing the decrease of levels of fatty acids resulting in endometrial menstrual cramps(15) which in turn result in the over-production of certain prostaglandins hormones.

Endometriosis: The Effects of Vitamin C(revised edition with references)

By Kyle J. Norton

During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood. Instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body to cause endometriosis. Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbate is a water soluble vitamin with a chemical structure formula of C6H6O6 and cannot be stored in the body for more than 24 hours. We are required to take it regularly. It is also best known for it's antioxidant property in strengthening the immune system.

1. Immune system(1)
Vitamin C plays an important role in strengthening the immune system because of it's powerful antioxidant property(2). It helps to guard our body against the forming of free radicals(3) and abnormal growth of endometrial cells in other parts of the body.

2. Increase absorption of digestive system
Most women with endometriosis are found to have deficiency of some kinds of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B complex, folic acid, zinc, and magnesium. Increasing intake of vitamin C not only helps to improve digestive absorption(6)(7), but also increases the body's function in fighting against all kinds of diseases(8) including endometriosis.

3. Endometrial related pain
Besides helping strengthen the liver function to balance the estrogen level(5) during menstrual cycle, vitamin C also balances the level of prostaglandins hormones in the prostaglandins family resulting in the calming of over-active uterine muscles(4).

4. Reduce heavy blood flow and blood clotting(10)
Vitamin C not only helps to protect the breaking off of the capillaries that cause heavy blood flow(11) for women with endometriosis during menstruation but also prevents blood clotting(9) caused by reduction of prothrombin, thrombin, and thrombokinase concentrations in the body.

5. Decrease infection and inflammation
Vitamin C helps in protein metabolism. It not only provides our body with certain necessary proteins but also blocks the synthesis of vital proteins that cause infection(14)(15) and inflammation(8)(12)(13).

During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood. Instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body to cause endometriosis. Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

The Pill normally is prescribed by your doctor to reduce the heavy period blood for woman with or with out endometriosis as well as in treating of period pain, or contraceptive purpose ( 21 days on and 7 days off).

A. The Good(Effectiveness)
1. Reduce the period blood flow(1) as resulting in lowering the risk of more developing of endometriosis(2).
2. Reduce the bleeding(1) by thinning the endometrial lining.
3. Reduce the period pain(3) by inhibiting the hormone prostaglandins hormones that cause the uterine muscles spasm(2).
4. Shrink the endometriosis and reduce the bleeding of into cysts and pelvic cavity(3) because the Pill creates the pregnant-like state.
5. Suppress the estrogen that is needed to start a menstrual cycle(5)(6).

B. The Bad(The Risks)
1. Blood clots
All hormonal methods of birth control pose a threat to normal blood flow. The oral contraceptive combination pill is no exception, it increases the risk of blood clots in your legs or on the lung caused by estrogen in the pill that makes your blood thicker in the veins(7)(8).

2. Stroke(9)(10)
Woman who takes the oral contraceptive combination pill increases the risk of stroke caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain as resulting of high level of estrogen in the pill that reduces the oxygen transportation as the blood getting thicker.

3. Heart disease(11)
Similar to the stroke, as our blood get thicker, our heart has to pump harder to provide oxygen for our body cells need causing hypertension. If our heart has to work that hard for a prolong period of time because of long term use of birth control pill, it will be damaged causing heart disease.

4. Skin pigment(12)(13)
Some woman may experience increasing of pigmentation of skin that shows up in patchy and light brown area caused by estrogen in the pill.

5. Mood swing(14)
Some women may experience mood swing while taking the pill, it is caused by significant changes in your hormone levels affecting the chemicals that regulate mood such as level of estrogen and progesterone in the pill.

6. Infertility(15)(16)
Some women after coming off the birth control pill and hope to get pregnant, they may be disappointed. Not only the effects of birth control pill maybe needed sometime to wire off, our body may never be able to adjust causing lost of period permanently and induced risk ovarian cancer.

7. Increase the risk of fibroids but decreased with duration of oral contraceptive use(17)
Oral contraceptive combination pill contains estrogen that promote the growth of fibroids. If you have fibroids and you want take the oral contraceptive pill, you should talk to your doctor first.

C. The  Side effects
1. Bleeding and spotting(18)
Bleeding and spotting is normal for the first six months for women starting any oral contraceptive combination pill because our body needs time to adjust to the new medication.

2. Lost interest in sex
Women who take the contraceptive pill are in danger of permanently lost their interest in sex because the oral contraceptive pill inhibits testosterone, the hormone that drives sexual desire even after if they stop the pill(19).

3. Chloasma or melisma(12)(13)
It caused by hormonal changes, as in pregnancy and intake of estrogen in the oral contraceptive pill.

4. Nutritional deficiency(20)(21)
Oral contraceptive pill causes vitamin and mineral imbalances or deficiencies. It depletes magnesium for healthy heart, coenzyme Q10 for healthy heart muscles, folic acid for preventing cervical abnormalities, vitamin B6, B2, B3, zinc, etc.

5. Alternation of emotion in facial expression
The pill may alter the detection of emotions in facial expressions, according to the study by ¹Institute of Psychology, Clinical Psychology Department, Leiden University(4).

Endometriosis: The Effects of Biotin (revised edition with references)

During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood, instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body to cause endometriosis. Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

Biotin, one of the members of the vitamin B complex, also known as vitamin H or B7 is a co-factor in the metabolism of fatty acids, leucine, and in gluconeogenesis. It has a chemical structure formula of C10H16N2O3S. Deficiency is extremely rare, as intestinal bacteria generally produce an excess of the body's daily requirement but for what ever reason, women with endometriosis are found to have low levels of biotin.

1. Cell abnormality(1)(2)
Biotin acts as a co-factor with the other members in the vitamin B complex. It plays an important role in managing the body's cell growth(3). Without enough biotin, it causes cell growth abnormality such as the forming of perinatal cells into endometrial cell in the abdominal regions.

2. Poor blood circulation
Since biotin helps in gluconeogenesis(5), it regulates the sugar levels in the blood stream(4). Without enough levels of biotin, the level of blood sugar rises causing the thickening of blood which reduces the circulatory function and blocks the transportation of nutrients and oxygen to our body's cells. This results in an increased risk of symptoms of endometriosis.

3. Menstrual cramps(8)
Since biotin is necessary in the metabolism of fatty acids, it helps to maintain levels of prostaglandins. Deficiency of biotin causes some members in the prostaglandins family to be over-produced during the menstrual cycle leading to menstrual and endometrial cramps.

4. Respiratory problem(6)(7)
Since biotin helps to synthesize carbon dioxide, without enough biotin it causes shortness of breath in women with endometriosis.

5. Risk of heart disease(9) and stroke(10)
If the liver cannot produce enough bile to generate good cholesterol because of not enough amounts of biotin in the body, it leads to cholesterol building up in the arteries causing the thickening of the arterial wall and the blockage o circulation of blood resulting in an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

6. Weaken function of nervous system(11)(12)
Since biotin acts as a co-factor with other vitamin B complexes in the metabolism of protein, deficiency of biotin interferes with that process. It weakens the normal functions of cells in the nervous system leading to tension of the nervous system such as anxiety, dizziness, loss of memory, and depression.

Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin and a member of vitamin B complex, played an important role in treating women with endometriosis, such as reducing symptoms of endometriosis during menstrual cycle, maintaining protein and fat metabolism, avoiding iron deficiency, etc.
1. Anemia(1)(2)
Women with endometriosis are found to have low levels of vitamin B12 during menstrual cycle for what ever reason. Deficiency of Vitamin B12 deceases the production of red blood cell in the blood stream causing depletion of levels of iron in the blood leading to anemia(3).

2. Nervous system(5)
Vitamin B12 is vital for protein and fat synthesis that helps to strengthen the function of nervous system resulting in lessening the nervous tension such as irritation, loss of memory, depression and mood swing(3)(4).

3. Insomnia(6) and fatigue(7)(8)
Besides helping in protein and fat synthesis, vitamin B12 also play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism that helps to provide energy for our body function and aids in insomnia and fatigue.

4. Immune system(9)(10)
Liver required vitamin B12 to function properly, deficiency of vitamin B12 causes enlarged liver resulting in decreasing the function of liver in fighting against environment toxins leading to high levels of bad estrogen in the body resulting in menstrual cramps for women with endometriosis.

5. Cell abnormality(11)
Vitamin B12 is vital for the synthesis of DNA. Deficiency of vitamin B12 increases the risk of abnormal cell growth in the body such as endometrial cells growing somewhere else in the abdomen.
