Endometriosis is an inflammatory and immune condition that is affected by sex hormones. An official diagnosis is often hard to get, and the gold standard is a laparoscopy. But that doesn’t mean that you have to wait for treatment. The key signs and symptoms of this condition are period pain, back pain, ovarian cysts, rectal pain, infertility, spotting throughout the cycle, pelvic pain, ovulation pain (so much pain!), but can also include fatigue, severe bloating, headaches, migraine, and IBS like gut symptoms. It’s also been associated with insulin resistance, PCOS, and thyroid issues.

Non Conventional Treatment

Conventional treatments are usually ablation, hysterectomy, and birth control for endometriosis symptoms. But there are so many more treatment options that can address both symptoms and root cause. There is also so much that can be done to improve pregnancy rates and IVF outcomes!

Endometriosis can massively impact quality of life, and there is so much that can be done to improve this that goes beyond addressing estrogen. If you suspect that you may have endometriosis, or have many of the above symptoms, book a free 15 meet and greet with me or a naturopathic doctor in your area to discuss what naturopathic medicine has to offer!
