Love seeing more endo research being done!👏 This article breaks down the complex theories behind endometriosis and how they could guide more effective treatments.

It reinforces the need for better diagnostics, moves away from relying on repeat surgeries, and supports a more holistic approach- using immune and hormone therapies alongside specialized pelvic therapy designed specifically for endometriosis, like Mercier Therapy.

A scientist is helping uncover the role of the immune system in endometriosis—while managing the disease herself.

Endometriosis is an inflammatory and adhesive disease that requires a comprehensive approach to healing. It is a leading causes of fertility challenges, which may be the only symptom.

While laparoscopic excision is the gold standard for diagnosing and removing endometriosis lesions, it is not a cure and doesn’t always resolve pain or prevent recurrence. Endometriosis is a disease that requires long-term management, and surgery alone may not address the underlying inflammation or hormonal imbalances that contribute to symptoms.

Holistic treatments can be complementary to surgery, helping to promote proper healing, reduce inflammation, and minimize post-surgical adhesions, which can cause pain and fertility challenges of their own. Therapies such as Mercier Pelvic Therapy, red/NIR light therapy, and anti-inflammatory nutrition can support recovery, improve pelvic organ function, and help minimize surgical adhesions, leading to better long-term outcomes.

If you’ve been dealing with painful or irregular cycles but have been told your hormones are normal, you may need to take a deeper look with functional testing.

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test is a convenient at-home urine test that provides a detailed analysis of your hormones. It measures s*x hormones like estrogen and testosterone, stress hormones such as cortisol, and their metabolites, offering a comprehensive view of your hormonal health. This information can help identify imbalances that may be affecting your well-being.
