Research also shows many women with endometriosis experience:
✨ chronic inflammation
✨ immune system dysregulation
✨ progesterone resistance
And interestingly, the gut plays a role too. Studies have found that women with endometriosis often have lower levels of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus, alongside higher levels of an enzyme produced by certain gut bacteria called beta-glucuronidase.
Why does that matter?
Because the gut microbiome helps to
• regulate inflammation
• support the immune system
• eliminate excess oestrogen from the body
When levels of beta-glucuronidase are higher, it can reactivate oestrogen in the gut, allowing it to be reabsorbed back into circulation rather than being eliminated.
Poor gut health can also affect how well we absorb key nutrients like magnesium, which is important for pain modulation, muscle relaxation and nervous system support.
If you struggle with painful periods or symptoms similar to those listed above, please know this is not something you just have to put up with.
Your symptoms deserve to be listened to and supported.
