Endometriosis Therapy: Not Only Hormones and Surgery - The Importance of a Holistic Approach |Biomedgrid

Endometriosis is a pathology that affects just under 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by symptoms, sometimes very severe, which manifest themselves as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain. Many women with this disease are also infertile. To date, there is no therapy that cures the woman who is affected by it. Hormonal therapies and surgery tend to cure the symptoms and slow down the course until menopause, a period in which, in the vast majority of cases, the disease resolves itself. The Authors intend to evaluate, through the review of the literature and the experience of “insiders”, a range of therapeutic forms that do not want to replace hormonal treatments or surgical techniques, which are still the subject of discussion, but which aim to support of these to try to make the life of women with endometriosis the best possible. Thus, a new concept was born for the Authors on how to deal with endometriosis: the concept of “holism” which leads us to evaluate this pathology in a complex of therapeutic globality, without excluding a priori ways of treatment wrongly considered ineffective and therefore “not officers”. We will address the concepts of adequate nutrition associated with the use of supplements and antioxidants, with the help offered by osteopathy, fitness, ozone therapy, acupuncture, up to the psychological support.
