Acupuncture for Endometriosis Pain (Pain and Women’s Health)

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis patients usually suffer with severely painful, heavy periods which often includes blood clots. Endometriosis involves endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus. Auto Immune symptoms or diagnosis, such as Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism often coincide with Endometriosis. Some women experience no abdominal or pelvic pain and are not diagnosed with Endometriosis until they are seen for infertility issues. Fatigue, low libido and anxiety or mild to moderate depression often accompanies Endometriosis.

How is Endometriosis Diagnosed?

A laparoscopy, through a small incision near the belly button visually confirms Endometriosis.

Western medicine may prescribe birth control pills or endometrial tissue may be removed in severe cases or with difficulty conceiving.

 

Why Acupuncture for Endometriosis?

Acupuncture treatment for Endometriosis treats the root cause in order to reduce pain in the abdomen and pelvic area, bloating in the abdominal area, and promotes the natural healing in your own body in order to achieve and maintain a natural hormonal balance. For this reason, acupuncture is also known to help with imbalance in mood and lower energy associated with Endometriosis.

 

Endometriosis Testimonial 

“When I saw Aleesha for Endometriosis problems I was in so much pain and discomfort and with feeling extremely tired all the time, I could barely get through work every day and didn’t know where to turn. Aleesha really listened to me and seemed to know exactly what to do to help which set my mind at ease right away. I noticed the pain in my belly decreased and my energy increased after just one treatment! I was able to get up and out of bed in the morning without hitting the snooze button! I trust her and love coming to Aleesha D Acupuncture because I know I’m in good hands. She truly cares for you as a person and how you feel.”  – J. Olson

How many Acupuncture Treatments?

Acupuncture for Endometriosis shows the best results with once or twice per week for 8-12 weeks or more, depending on what the goals of the patient are and how quickly their body responds. If fertility is also being worked on, further acupuncture treatments will be recommended. Severity of and how long the issues have lasted (how chronic) will also help determine how many treatments will be needed and how frequently acupuncture should be done. Be sure to see a licensedacupuncturist to ensure your personal safety.
