Endometriosis

Understanding endometriosis: shedding light on a common condition
Endometriosis is a condition in which cells of the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterus, causing various symptoms such as recurrent bleeding, pain and discomfort. While some women may not experience any symptoms, others may encounter challenges such as pelvic pain and fertility difficulties.

Pain associated with endometriosis often occurs during or just before menstruation and tends to decrease until menstruation ends. Some women may also experience pain or cramping during various activities, such as urination or bowel movements. In addition, prolonged periods and spotting before menstruation may be common symptoms.

In TCM we distinguish between more than twenty causes of endometriosis - depending on the cause, we use different therapeutic tactics, below are some examples:
