Natural Cures For Endometriosis in Middle Aged Women
Medical vs. Natural Cures for Endometriosis in Middle Aged Women - You Can Cure Endometriosis Without Drugs or Surgery
Are you a middle-aged woman with chronic pelvic pain? Has your doctor told you that you have endometriosis symptoms? Have you been told that the cause is not really known, and that surgery is the only way to diagnose it and cure it? Many doctors are not aware of the natural, risk-free cures for endometriosis that just might eliminate your pain and keep you out of the operating room. This guide will discuss the typical medical approach, and provide you the basic steps and information resources you need to cure your endometriosis and pain, naturally.
Many women suffer chronic pelvic pain, and endometriosis is one of the common causes. It affects 6% of the female population, from the age of 10 to 75. It is the condition where cells from the internal lining of the uterus "implant" outside the uterus on the pelvic wall or on various organs such as the bladder and intestines. Endometriosis is often painful, and usually gets worse when your estrogen levels are higher- (before or during menses, and when taking hormone supplements and birth control).
Where Do I Start?

Endometriosis is often painful, and usually gets worse when your estrogen levels are higher- (before or during menses, and when taking hormone supplements and birth control).
The Typical Medical Approach
It's a good idea to get a pelvic exam from a gynecologist to rule out obvious conditions that may need immediate attention. However, a pelvic exam, alone, cannot confirm endometriosis. The only way to 100% confirm that you have endometriosis is to look inside you by doing a laparoscopy - using a scope that they insert into your abdomen. Endometriosis won't show up in an ultrasound, MRI or CT scan.
If endometriosis is found during surgery, the surgeon will typically try to remove all of it, surgically. There is no drug that will "kill" endometriosis, like an antibiotic kills strep throat bacteria. Unfortunately, small amounts often remain after surgery, it grows back, and the pain returns later.
Another common medical approach is "Lupron Therapy" to confirm that you have endometriosis and to reduce pain. This is a monthly Depot Lupron shot, which signals your ovaries to stop producing estrogen. Many doctors use this test as an experiment to see if you have endometriosis: if your pain goes away, you, they conclude that you have endometriosis (which now isn't painful because your estrogen level was reduced). The problem with this "therapy" is that Depot Lupron has dangerous side effects, including irreversible bone loss (something most women over 30 can't afford to have). Also, if your pain is reduced with this treatment, it only narrows down the cause to five possible conditions that are affected by estrogen levels: adenomyosis, ovulation pain (because it stops ovulation), uterine fibroids, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), and endometriosis.
If you've had a complete hysterectomy, you might want to refuse Depot Lupron treatment. This doesn't make sense, as you no longer have ovaries for this risky drug to signal! When I asked one such doctor why she would give an ovary-affecting drug to a woman without ovaries, she replied, "It's our best shot- and all we have left to try." Doctors are just people. Question them, and only do treatments that make sense to you!
The Natural Approach
While sometimes successful, surgery doesn't eliminate what caused the condition in the first place. The natural approach is non-invasive, risk-free, and seeks to cure the root cause. Using nutrition, healthy habits and time-tested methods helps strengthen and balance the body so it can heal itself. Your body is what actually heals, not drugs or surgery.
If you have endometriosis symptoms, you have nothing to lose by trying safe, natural methods, first! If the cause turns out to be another common female condition, you may find that the natural approach will help that, too. If endometriosis has been confirmed with surgery, natural methods can help keep it from growing back! Many women have chosen not to have exploratory surgery, and have eliminated or reduced their pelvic pain the natural way.
