| | Endometriosis is a condition in which the endometrium, tissue that normally lines the uterus, grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding, and frequently infertility. | | | This approach was developed in response to the observed regression of endometriosis during pregnancy. | | | Nerve removal (neurectomy) may rarely be performed during surgery as a means of relieving the pain associated with endometriosis. |

| | Endometriosis FAQ |
| | Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases and is responsible for a significant portion of gynecological surgeries each year. | | | The reports available in clinical studies in the past two decades indicate that removal of endometriosis and ablation, along with lysis of adhesion, can give relief of the pain to 70 to 90 percent of the patients, with a 10 to 20 percent rate of recurrence within three years of the treatment. | | | One other explanation for patients with pain in endometriosis is the involvement of other organs, such as the rectum or colon. |

| | Antidote for Endometriosis |
| | As an alternative, I have treated a number of endometriosis patients, some after failed surgery, with natural progesterone and have observed considerable success. | | | Given the severity of the pains and the association with monthly periods, it seems unlikely that earlier doctors would not have described the condition. | | | By taking natural progesterone, a patient can fool the body into thinking it is pregnant and STOP the endometriosis from growing. |
