Endometriosis: the new disease that's older than eve ENDOMETRIOSIS: THE NEW DISEASE THAT'S OLDER THAN EVE
Endometriosis affected regularly menstruating women before Homo sapiens discovered how to control tire or chip a block of stone into a working wheel. Though we have no way of knowing how earliest woman coped with menstrually related distress. We might guess that she believed the cause was cosmologies and out of her control. The early Egyptians, who created one of the most advanced cultures four and five thousand years ago, were diligent recorders of history, astronomy, and science. It was they who for the first time made reference to a "painful disorder of her menstruation," duly noted on the Papyrus Ebers from the year 1600 B.C.
We are without further medical identification of the disorder until 1696, when the French surgeon Saviard noted the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Then in 1835 another French doctor, Jean Cruveilhier, described uterine cysts. Twenty-five years later. Dr. K. von Rokitansky, a German doctor, published the first paper on the disease, referring to it as an "adenomyoma," now called adenomyosis, or endometriosis confined entirely to the muscle wall of the uterus. At the turn of the century, two American doctors further described degrees of the disease, but it was not until 1921 that Dr. Sampson, as noted earlier, recorded his theory of how endometrial tissue implants on internal organs.
