Endometriosis
Endometriosis is characterized by abnormal fibroids found in the lining of the uterus, which often causes pelvic pain, abnormal menstruation and infertility. Although the cause is yet to be confirmed, some studies link endometriosis to alcohol consumption.
In her book, "Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom", Dr. Christiane Northrup describes endometriosis as the illness of competition, where a woman’s emotional needs compete with her ability to function in the outside world.
