All violations of endometriosis occur against a background of hormonal background. Hormones - are substances that are released by the endocrine glands, enter the blood and regulate metabolism and function of individual organs. In order to hormones was correct nutrition it is of great importance, because it is formed from food substances necessary for the synthesis of hormones.
What are vitamins and what function they perform in a woman's body
Vitamins - a biologically active substance that are involved in all types of metabolism. With a lack of a vitamin violated certain biochemical reactions in which it participates. And this can be reflected, for example, the synthesis of hormones that provide reproductive function of women, that is, the synthesis of hormones of the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovaries - they are responsible for the normal hormonal levels of women.
But it is different vitamins have different effect in endometriosis. The impact of vitamins on the body of women suffering from endometriosis, currently insufficiently studied. Thus, today has been suggested that an excess of fat-soluble vitamin D promotes the development or progression of endometriosis. But these data are not yet confirmed by serious scientific research.
But it is known that the positive impact of endometriosis has inclusion in the comprehensive treatment of vitamins A, E, C, K and B group
Fat-soluble vitamins A and E - the impact they have endometriosis
Vitamins A and E are vital for endometriosis. As you know, lead to the development of endometriosis, hormonal disorders and immune disorders.
Vitamin A, or retinol - a vitamin that "supervises" the immune system, without vitamin A disturbed protein metabolism, as well as all the immune cells are composed of proteins, it is broken and the immune system. Vitamin A is found in animal products - meat and animal liver, fatty fish, fish oils, egg yolks, butter. In plant foods vitamin A, but there his predecessor - beta-carotene, from which the body is formed vitamin A.
Women suffering from endometriosis, vitamin A is necessary. But there is a caveat: from fatty animal products produced in the body steroids, of which in turn are synthesized estrogen. And estrogen for endometriosis and so are produced in excess, so the lack of vitamin A should be to fill in the main products of plant origin. You can use several times a week and oily fish - it has a positive effect on metabolism

and does not contribute to increased secretion of estrogen. Beta-carotene is found in carrots, red bell peppers, parsley, leeks, apricots, peaches

Vitamin E (tocopherol) has a positive regulatory effect on the activity of the sex glands, so it is always in endometriosis include in the comprehensive treatment. In addition, hormonal disorders are always accompanied by the release of large amounts of toxic free radicals (products of redox reactions as part of the metabolism), and vitamin E inhibits the processes of formation of free radicals.
Vitamin E found in vegetable oils and in fat of animal origin. Just as in the case with vitamin A, endometriosis should give preference to products of vegetable origin rich in tocopherols.
The attending physician can be included in the complex treatment of pharmaceutical preparations containing vitamins A and E, but the woman herself can not do this: the recurrence of endometriosis can be triggered by the most unexpected factors, the process is not yet sufficiently understood.
Vitamins that have an impact on the circulatory system and the blood
When the main symptom of endometriosis are regular bleeding, which leads to the formation of iron deficiency anemia. Therefore matter vitamins, strengthen the walls of blood vessels - C and E, and vitamin K, increases blood clotting and folic acid
Folic acid - the value is hard to overestimate

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is found in all kinds of cabbage, bell peppers, tomatoes, horseradish, spinach, rose hips, citrus, black currant. Vitamin P (rutin) is also found in citrus fruits, black currants, mountain ash, chokeberry

, Green tea leaves, walnuts.
Vitamin K (phylloquinone), found in spinach, cauliflower, rose hips, green tomatoes, pine needles, leaves of alfalfa. Folic acid (vitamin B9) enters the body mainly from meat and dairy products, fish, eggs. Furthermore, it is contained in peas and cereals.
All of these vitamins in endometriosis also can not be taken alone in the form of pills or dietary supplements. All drugs in the treatment of endometriosis may appoint a doctor. And vitamins are no exception.
