Medical Vs Natural Cures For Endometriosis in Teenaged Women

The Steps to Finding a Cure

Are you tired of living with monthly cramps? Have you been told that it's "normal" to have to stay home from school a couple days per month? Do you have to take medications to make it through the day? Sure, a little monthly discomfort is normal, but if your pain interferes with your life, you may have endometriosis. You might also have another common condition that has endometriosis-like symptoms.

What is endometriosis?

It's a condition where the normal cells in your uterus grow in areas outside your uterus where they don't belong. They can grow on your pelvic wall, or on organs, like the bladder and intestines. Endometriosis is often painful, but don't worry; it's not life threatening, like cancer. The good news is that there are simple natural ways to decrease or eliminate your pain without drugs or surgery.

The point is, if you have chronic pelvic/abdominal pain, you don't need to just put up with it! Many young women have found a " new life"- pain free and able to do their favorite activities any time they want.

Step 1 Get a Checkup

The first thing to do is take charge of your body. Make it your "mission" to find out how to be pain-free. If you're feeling pain and discomfort, get an exam by a gynecologist you like. Exams are not much fun, but they can sometimes find simple problems that are easy to fix; and the pain is gone. They may also find something that needs attention right away. The doctor should be gentle, understanding, and willing to answer your questions. If you don't trust, or feel comfortable with the doctor, find someone else. It's your body, and you get to choose.

If they don't find something obvious or easy to fix, you might have endometriosis. Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure that you have it, is to explore inside your abdomen with a laparoscope - an exploratory surgery. CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds won't see it. The thing is, if they do find endometriosis inside, they may not be able to get it all out, and it could just grow back later. You might want to try some simple, natural things, first, that might help whether you have endometriosis or not.

A good doctor is needed for: Doing exams, arranging scans and lab tests to find obvious conditions, prescribing medications, and doing procedures (surgery). This is how they were trained, and it's how they make a living. Most doctors know very little about disease prevention, or time-tested, natural ways to cure diseases.

Step 2 Learn About the Natural Way

Many young women have cured or helped endometriosis and other common female problems with the same natural methods; by changing things in diet and health habits, and possibly adding natural, safe supplements. You can try the natural way first, and if you try surgery later, you can then use natural methods to keep the endometriosis from coming back.

Step 3 Choose Your Treatment Plan

Once you've talked to your doctor and heard her recommendations, learn about the practical, natural ways to improve your health, by simple changes in diet, health habits and safe supplements.
