Endometriosis
Endometriosis can cause pain, fatigue, and fertility challenges. Acupuncture improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, balances hormones, and supports emotional wellbeing.
How We Support Endometriosis
- Pain relief and reduction of pelvic discomfort
- Hormonal balance and cycle regulation
- Stress reduction and improved sleep
- Fertility support, whether trying naturally or via assisted reproduction
Research has shown acupuncture as the potential to:
- Alleviate Pain & Inflammation – Research shows that acupuncture reduces pain by modulating prostaglandins, β-endorphins, and inflammatory markers, leading to improved quality of life. (1)
- Regulate Menstrual Cycles & Hormones – Studies indicate that acupuncture helps balance key reproductive hormones, which may improve endometriosis-related symptoms.
- Enhance Blood Circulation to the Uterus – Acupuncture has been shown to promote proper blood flow, reducing clotting and congestion.
- Improve Fertility Outcomes – A growing body of research suggests that acupuncture may improve fertility rates in women with endometriosis by regulating hormone levels, reducing inflammation, and optimising uterine health. (2) (3)
Acupuncture & Medical Treatment a Complementary Approach
Acupuncture can be safely used alongside conventional treatments such as pain medication, hormonal therapies, and surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that acupuncture significantly reduces menstrual and pelvic pain in endometriosis patients compared to control groups. (4)
By combining acupuncture with medical treatments, many patients experience greater pain relief, improved cycle regularity, and enhanced fertility outcomes.
Appointments & Frequency
Frequency is tailored to symptom severity and fertility goals.
