Free Downloads Living With Lung And Colon Endometriosis: Catamenial Pneumothorax
In 1958 100 women were written up in the literature with endometriosis on the lung causing it to fill up with fluid and collapse. Catamenial pneumothorax was considered extremely rare, but actually an under-recognized manifestation of catamenial ectopic endometriosis. 2016 record numbers of women have been diagnosed globally with menstrual lung collapse and other presentations referred to as Thoracic Endometriosis Syndrome.

Lungs with endometriosis is rare. Not so rare that you think it cant happen to you... this stuff can go into many places in the body including the brain... E.R.C. in Atlanta is the research institute for endometriosis that is cutting edge and better than mayo clinic in treatments... see Dr. Sinervo.
Dr Wallace has written an excellent book that can inform and inspire other patients with this condition, as well as educating physicians to be more aware of pulmonary and colon endometriosis. Her contribution to the recognition of this disease and its treatment is very important. Endometriosis is a common condition, and this abnormal uterine tissue can implant itself on many organs including the lung and colon, as in Dr Wallace's case. She explains much of the medical terminology included in her clinical narrative summaries which is helpful to the lay public as they seek to understand their own medical conditions. In between, is a fascinating story of this brave young Air Force major in the prime of her life, who is forced to deal with the many unknowns associated with this diagnostic dilemma and how her faith and her concerned and caring doctors helped her.
this book is sad because of a struggle through a chronic health problem, it has useful information though and is worth the read
Females who have experienced chest pain before, during, or after menses might consider reading this. My PCP looked at me like I was from Mars because the 15% pneumothorax(s) seemed like nothing to worry about. Went on for years. After a 90 % pneumothorax and menses in hospital did someone help make the connection. I purchased 7 books and gave them to friends. Gave one to my OBGYN who was happy to see the "word" getting out.
