Hello I have been suffering from severe period pain for more than 1year now extending to anal pain during period. Recently consulted my gynae who has prescribed Microgynon back to bacl for 6 month. I want to know if there is any other treatment. I really don't want to go on the pill.

Morning! Sorry to hear you're in so much pain. I used to have horrendous periods. How about the mirena coil?

Hi, honey! If no medical way you may try the following foods for endometriosis

.

Organic foods – Pesticides can affect estrogen and other hormones, therefore it is important to choose only organic.

Wild-caught fish – Foods high in EPA/DHA reduce inflammation and reduces pain.

Flax, hemp seeds and chia seeds – Will help improve estrogen levels, consume 3 tablespoons daily.

Cruciferous vegetables – Increases Indole-3-carbinol, which supports liver detoxification.

Avocados – Are high in healthy fats, fiber, potassium and magnesium all of which support hormone balance and reduce inflammation.

Hope this helps. Take care!

This is great advice! Diet in high fiber, taking back to old day's when women had to stay regular to feel better. We are what we eat.

Top 5 Natural Endometriosis Remedies

#1 Vitex (chasteberry) (400 mg 2x daily). It balances progesterone/ estrogen ratios.

#2 Fish Oil (1,000mg daily). It helps reduce inflammation and balance hormones.

#3 B-complex (50 mg daily). B vitamins are crucial in estrogen levels and hormone balance.

#4 Progesterone Cream (1/4 tsp, days 6-26 of cycle, stop after 3rd m. pregnancy) Low progesterone often contributes to endometriosis.

#5 Milk Thistle (150 mg 2x daily). It supports liver detoxification which can naturally balance hormones.

Anyway i would be better to have a second opinion with another dr (if you don't accept the pills offered with your previous dr). Wishing you the best!
