Endometriosis and Fertility Clinic
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease affecting one in ten women of reproductive age, where the lining of the womb grows on other organs of the body and sheds blood. This blood is trapped internally. It gives rise to symptoms such as:
- Extremely painful periods
- Painful ovulation
- Painful intercourse
- Irritable bowel/bladder symptoms
- Fatigue
- Fertility problems
Fertility may be compromised by endometriosis as well as by other health problems. Nutritional medicine may help to improve ova and sperm quality. Both partners should be in optimum health at conception. The therapist has researched the link between disorder of the reproductive/endocrine and immune systems and sub clinical nutritional deficiencies. In endometriosis the immune system needs to work effectively in order for the endometriotic implants to be removed.
The body wants to be well and all the time our body homeostasis pathways are working towards maintaining a balance. With nutritional medicine we can work with the body biochemistry and restore this natural balance through eating a choice of nutritious foods and by judicious use of supplements in the short term. Pain may be reduced and fertility restored.
Eating is something we do every day. It sustains us and keeps us healthy, or it can make us unhealthy.
Quality of life can be improved through nutritional medicine. The first consultation lasts one our and you will receive a nutrition information pack tailored to your individual needs. Support is provided through each month and a follow-up session of half an hour for around three to four moths may be sufficient.
