ADVICE ANYONE TRIED NATURAL TREATMENT

[Endo71]

Hi advice please. Has anyone tried natural treatment for frozen pelvis and extensive endometriosis? Has anyone boycotted the medical treatment route and managed through diet natural remedies etc. Surgeons won’t do surgery and want to put me on Zoladex. My local GPs have taken 4 weeks passing me back and forth trying to locate injection, messing me about time and time again. Been to 3 appointments geared up for jab to be told not in stock, cannot be done here and then another month delay as I now have to be on my period! Failing to mention this to me a month ago! I have no faith in anyone anymore and want to forget all treatment and manage myself. Advice please if anyone has tried natural route. Thank you

Hi. I am planning to treat and manage my stage 3/4 endo myself too. I was diagnosed a couple months ago following lap. I have MRI on Monday to look for adenomyosis and to ascertain penetration of disease. Ive had symptoms and red herring diagnosis for 25 years. I had flare up in May and my pain levels are fluctuating in severity, but there all the time. I have secondary infertility.

Id be happy to keep in touch and share suggestions...?

So far I've done food intolerance testing, cut out gluten and dairy and am in middle of a month long urine test [edited to comply with our code of conduct] to measure my hormone levels and stress hormone levels. Ive also had blood tests and other screening at hospital.

My consultant wants to perform surgery with likely section of bowel removed. Then wants to try to free my ovaries and tubes from adhesions. He also wants me to take drugs to induce menopause..

Have u tried things already?

Hi Bella29 thank you for your reply. I have cut out alcohol, gluten, dairy and wheat. Will let you know how it goes. I am going to ask to be referred to a BSGE Centre and go from there. Would be great to know how you are doing and what works for you x

Hi Endo71, I had two treatments of Zoladex, the 1st round was Fantastic, you see I was bleeding constantly and my Doctor tried everything, So this was the final try before I had to Have my Total Hysterectomy. When I went in for my OP they thought they would maybe able to keep my Ovaries but when I came around from the OP, I was told that the Endo was attached to my Bowel so Badly that my inside was like Concrete. I was 37 at the time of the OP & had no Children. But I have to say the only good thing that came out of the OP was that I don't Bleed any more. I still Have a really Bad Back & I would be Depressed a lot. But try Zoladex really what have you got to lose... Big Hugs. Take-Care..Xxxxx

Thank you Bobbluesky for your reply. I am very nervous about Zoladex and what makes it worse is my local surgery getting organised to start treatment, month delay now! I am sorry you have had such a hard time with this awful disease. I hope you are feeling as well as can be xx
