Endometriosis affects an estimated one in nine Australian women and can significantly impact quality of life, fertility, and daily function. Chinese Medicine offers valuable complementary care that many women find transformative alongside their conventional medical management.
In Chinese Medicine, endometriosis is most commonly understood as a condition of Blood Stasis, and treatment focuses on moving stagnation, reducing inflammation, regulating the menstrual cycle, and addressing underlying patterns of Qi and Blood deficiency or excess.
Research supports acupuncture for endometriosis-related pain, with studies showing significant reductions in dysmenorrhoea (painful periods) and overall pain scores. Chinese herbal medicine is also well-supported, with specific formulas that research suggests may help support the management of endometrial symptoms and inflammatory markers.
