Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may help manage symptoms of endometriosis, although it is considered a supportive therapy, not a cure. Here’s how it can help:
🌸 How HBOT May Help with Endometriosis
1. Reduces inflammation
Endometriosis is driven by chronic inflammation. HBOT increases oxygen levels in tissues, which can help calm inflammatory responses and reduce swelling.
2. Pain relief
By improving oxygen delivery and reducing inflammation, many people report less pelvic pain, cramping, and discomfort after HBOT sessions.
3. Improves tissue healing
HBOT promotes new blood vessel formation and tissue repair, which may help heal irritated or damaged pelvic tissues.
4. Supports hormonal balance indirectly
While HBOT does not alter hormones directly, reducing inflammation and stress on the body can help the endocrine system function more smoothly.
5. Enhances immune regulation
HBOT may help regulate immune responses, which is important because endometriosis involves immune system dysfunction.
6. Improves fatigue and quality of life
Better oxygenation can improve energy levels, sleep quality, and overall well-being—important for those living with chronic pain.
⚠️ Important to Know
HBOT does not remove endometrial lesions
Best used alongside medical treatment, not instead of it
Effects vary from person to person
A course often involves 20–40 sessions, depending on symptoms
