Strong Tools for the effective Treatment of Endometriosis-related Pain

Course overview

Endometriosis is a complex disease with pain as the leading symptom limiting the quality of life of the affected women. Since the treatment options in conventional medicine are limited, women with endometriosis seek help from acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Pain in women with endometriosis is a result of adherences, inflammation, and an immunological response. Because of the complexity of the disease and the wide variety of symptoms, treatment of endometriosis must include the whole system of Chinese medicine, especially Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary advice, and lifestyle and stress recommendations to ensure effective treatment. However, even when a complex intervention is required, the treatment strategy is rooted in the well-known theory of Chinese medicine.
