Endometriosis Plan

Endometriosis can be a challenging condition, causing significant pain and discomfort for many women. At Scottsdale Family Acupuncture, we offer a comprehensive treatment plan designed to address the root causes of endometriosis, alleviate symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life. Our holistic approach combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern supplements to provide effective and lasting relief.

Understanding Endometriosis in TCM
In TCM, endometriosis is viewed through the lens of imbalances in the body's energy pathways. Here are the main patterns we focus on:
Liver Qi Stagnation: You might feel irritable, experience abdominal pain before or during menstruation, and have tender breasts.
Blood Stasis: Severe, fixed, and stabbing abdominal pain with dark menstrual blood and clots are signs of Blood Stasis, where blood flow is obstructed.
Kidney Yang Deficiency: Symptoms include lower back pain, cold sensations, frequent urination, and fatigue.
Damp-Heat: Heavy, painful periods with dark, sticky blood, accompanied by fever and thirst, indicate Damp-Heat, where excess dampness and heat disturb the body.

Our Treatment Approach
We utilize a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and scientifically studied supplements to address these patterns and restore balance.

Treatment Plan Overview
Initial Phase (1-3 months): Weekly acupuncture sessions to alleviate acute symptoms and regulate menstrual cycles. Daily herbal intake and prescribed supplements support the healing process.
Intermediate Phase (3-6 months): Bi-monthly sessions focus on continued symptom management and reinforcing improvements. Adjustments to herbal medicine based on progress.
Maintenance Phase (6+ months): Monthly sessions to maintain a symptom-free state and prevent relapse. Continued use of herbs and supplements as needed.
Long-term Maintenance
To prevent recurrence and maintain your health, we recommend monthly acupuncture sessions, periodic assessments for herbal medicine adjustments, and a continued regimen of supportive supplements. Additionally, we provide lifestyle recommendations, including diet, exercise, and stress management strategies tailored to your needs.

What to Expect
Our goal is to provide relief and help you manage endometriosis effectively. While each individual's experience is unique, many patients begin to notice improvements within the first few months. Long-term commitment to the treatment plan ensures sustained relief and better overall health.
