Endometriosis is a condition that affects many women and can be extremely painful; it can also contribute to infertility. Women in Austin in search of natural endometriosis treatment will be happy to know that acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine are often highly effective in reducing symptoms while promoting wellness within the body.

This disorder occurs when tissue that lines the endometrium (inside of the uterus) grows outside of the uterus in the pelvic area, fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, bowel, etc. Many women with this condition experience heavy periods, pelvic pain and pain with intercourse, and when you are trying to conceive it can be especially challenging. Endometriosis therapy often includes surgery, birth control pills, or other hormone-altering medications. Sage Acupuncture offers a natural treatment alternative or supplement to conventional treatments which has frequently proven more successful at managing the pain and underlying inflammation caused by endometriosis.

A common disorder that is diagnosed in about 200,000 women in the U.S. each year, endometriosis often produces symptoms including:

• Lower back or abdominal pain
• Painful, heavy menstruation
• Abdominal and/or ovarian swelling
• Frequent pain throughout the month
• Painful sexual intercourse
• Infertility

Some women have few or no symptoms, and only discover they may have the disorder when they fail to conceive. As you can imagine, taking contraceptives or other hormonal medications when you are trying to become pregnant doesn’t work. With endometriosis treatment, our reproductive acupuncturists will work with you to support your efforts to conceive through holistic therapies that reduce stress, promote wellness, and enhance your reproductive system.
