This blog is intended to raise awareness of Endometriosis.

This is a condition where the uterine lining is inflamed and fragments of the uterine lining migrate to other areas in the pelvic cavity.

This happens when the uterine lining, instead of being shed from the body and adhering to other organs within the abdominal cavity, adhere during menstruation. The tissue grows and shrinks in size under the influence of hormonal fluctuations.

All sorts of symptoms can result. This includes pelvic pain and abnormal vaginal bleeds.

The treatment can be done surgically, where the tissue is removed. However, this can leave behind scar tissue that can cause similar issues.

What is the best next treatment?

Endometriosis can be controlled with synthetic hormone replacement therapy and anti-estrogenic medications, but they come with many side effects.

A holistic approach is the best way to deal with endometriosis. Natural hormones, diet changes, and supplements can help.

These natural products can help to increase progesterone levels and reduce inflammation.

Avoiding red meat, sugar, and dairy products from your diet are all dietary changes. These small changes can go a long way in preventing endometriosis.
