Endometriosis: More Than Just a Painful Cycle

Are you struggling with intense period pain, painful ovulation, discomfort during intercourse, or pain when urinating or passing bowels? If so, you may be experiencing the effects of endometriosis—a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, triggering inflammation and chronic pain.
Endometriosis doesn’t just impact your cycle; it can also create a hostile environment for conception. According to Endometriosis Australia, up to 50% of individuals with endometriosis face fertility challenges.
If your cycle is causing significant pain, it’s essential to consult your GP to begin the diagnostic process. Diagnosis often requires a laparoscopy or a biopsy to confirm the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. In addition to diagnosing the condition, laparoscopy is also used as a treatment method to remove endometrial-like tissue. Medication can also be prescribed to help manage pain and symptoms.
Acupuncture has been gaining recognition as an effective approach to managing endometriosis-related pain. A systematic review and meta-analysis of six studies, involving 331 participants, found that acupuncture significantly improved pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, making it a promising treatment option ¹
