March is endometriosis awareness month!
WHAT IS IT?
Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial-like (uterine lining) tissue is located outside of the uterus. This tissue can grow anywhere in the body—including the bladder, bowel & ovaries—and lead to inflammation, adhesions & dysfunction.
STATS
✦ affects ~15% of menstruating individuals from ages 24-40
✦ ~70% of adolescents with chronic pelvic pain will have endometriosis
✦ average delay of diagnosis = 6-8 years
TREATMENT
While naturopathic treatments are individualized to each patient, options may include nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture & targeted nutraceuticals.
