Endometriosis: the most common cause of pelvic pain

Endometriosis is not just about the physical symptoms—it affects every aspect of your life. It’s a common yet frequently misunderstood cause of pelvic pain that also leads to symptoms like painful periods, discomfort during intimacy, and gastrointestinal distress such as bloating and diarrhea. Not to mention, it can make it harder to get pregnant. This condition affects roughly 1 in 10 women in New Zealand, where tissue similar to the lining inside your uterus grows where it shouldn’t.

The road to a definitive diagnosis often involves laparoscopic surgery, which means you might have been searching for answers for years.

How to get rid of the pelvic pain

Pharmaceutical treatments

Surgical and pharmaceutical treatments are not always impressively effective. You can only expect 30–50% chance of improvement.

These treatments can also come with significant side effects such as hot flushes, decreased sex drive, mood swings, headache, reduced bone strength, to name a few. As a result, many women will not tolerate the unpleasant effects and discontinue their medications.

Surgery

Surgery is another treatment for chronic pelvic pain. During laparoscopic surgery overgrown endometrial tissue is mechanically removed.

While this option can be effective, but it is expensive and invasive. Furthermore, the post operative recovery may take a long of time.

Laparoscopic surgery doesn’t provide a permanent solution, the pain tends to recur within five years.

Why consider acupuncture for endometriosis pain

The American Society of Reproductive Medicine recommends acupuncture as an effective adjunctive treatment for an endometriosis pain. In two recent trials, acupuncture has been shown to provide significant pain relief, also when compared to sham acupuncture. It decreases the size of endometriosis nodules and pelvic masses, lowers CA-125 (a marker linked with endometriosis) and even decreases risk of condition returning.

The major strength of acupuncture treatment we offer is a rare combination of its safety and effectiveness. Studies on pain show that acupuncture is safe when done by well-trained acupuncturists.

You may even enjoy some welcome side effects. Many patients report better mood and improved sleep. a far cry from the unpleasant side effects often linked to pharmaceuticals, I’m certain you will handle these these!
