Endometriosis / Pelvic Pain Acupuncture

How our reproductive acupuncture can free you from pain

Basic endometriosis facts you already know

Endometriosis is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain. You may also experience symptoms like pain during sex, unusual menstrual bleeding, bowel problems like painful bloating, diarrhoea. It may be hard to get pregnant.

The problem is, even if you get all of above symptoms, you are never certain of the cause unless you had a laparoscopic surgery. It may take years to get diagnosed.

Endometriosis affects roughly 1 in 10 women and girls in New Zealand. It develops when tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) grows in places outside your uterus.

How to get rid of the pelvic pain

Pharmaceutical treatments

Sadly, surgical and pharmaceutical treatments are not impressively effective. You can only expect 30–50% chance of improvement.

Pharmaceuticals often cause significant side effects. Hot flushes, decreased sex drive, mood swings, headache, reduced bone strength, to name a few. Hence, many women will not tolerate the unpleasant effects and stop their medications.

Surgery

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

This option can be effective, thou expensive and, of course, invasive. It takes a long time to recover.

Surgery doesn’t provide a permanent solution. Pain tends to recur within five years.
