Homeopathy for endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition that affects a woman’s reproductive organs. This chronic inflammatory condition can cause many issues mentally, emotionally and physically in a women’s life. Whether you want to get pregnant, or simply want to reduce the symptoms of endometriosis, homeopathy can help to manage this condition.
The endometrium
The endometrium is the mucous membrane that lines the inside of the uterus (womb). It changes throughout the menstrual cycle. In the first half of the cycle, levels of oestrogen start to rise and makes the lining of the uterus thick and rich with blood vessels to prepare for pregnancy. This lining of the womb is a place that will nourish the embryo if a pregnancy occurs.
Endometriosis is a condition when cells similar to those that line the uterus (the endometrium) are found in other parts of the body. The misplaced tissue responds to the hormones, just like it would do if it were inside the uterus .The tissue continues to thicken, then sheds and bleeds with every menstrual cycle. Endometriosis lesions can be found anywhere in the pelvic cavity. Commonly found on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the surface of the uterus, the bowel, bladder and on the membrane lining of the pelvic cavity.
The causes of endometriosis remain unknown.

Endometriosis is a progressive, chronic condition
Endometriosis can cause local inflammation. Fibrous scar tissue can form causing the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and bowel to stick to each other. When endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts called endometriomas (Chocolate Cysts ) may form. The tissue inside bleeds and fills with un-clotted blood each month. Chocolate cysts get their name from black, tarry & thick, blood grossly resembling chocolate.
Endometriosis Management
Physical activity and exercise may help to ease pain.
Having enough quality sleep, stress management and relaxation may help your immune system function at its best.
Maintain a healthy weight. Androgens in fat tissue can be converted into oestrogens that increase total oestrogen levels in the body.
