Help for Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where patches of endometrial lining grow outside of the womb. This can cause pelvic pain and infertility. In this condition estrogen levels show elevation while progesterone levels are low. Dr. John Ott called this estrogen dominance. Medical therapy consists of laparoscopic removal of endometrial lesions. In addition, many physicians prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement of progesterone. Some women regain fertility with these treatments, but others do not. While the treatment is not perfect, most women do improve with regard to their pelvic pain.
