Re: 20 years old with possible endometriosisFrom: Tina (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Sep 30 12:48:55 2003
Marie, I am sorry to here how bad your mom & grandmother had endo. Back then very few doctors knew anything. At least the research is getting better. Here are some of the sites that I have found helpful. Endozone - research the articles & they have a list of book references http://www.endozone.org Endometriosis Association http://www.endometriosisassn.org Endometriosis Research Center http://www.endocenter.org Dr. David Redwine's site http://www.endometriosistreatment.org Webmd has an overview, articles and support group also http://www.webmd.com Here are some books, if you have a library they are worth checking out: "Endometriosis Sourcebook," by Mary Lou Ballweg, Pres. of Endo Assn "Endometriosis: A Key to Health Through Nutrition," by Dian Shepperson Mills "Endometriosis: The Complete Reference for Taking Charge of Your Health," Mary Lou Ballweg - this book has some research info on endo & cancer It looks like the researchers are looking more into immunotherapy and nutrition with this disease. Immunotherapy is getting your allergies or asthma under control. Research has been showing that there is a significant number of endo women with Candida Albicans, a yeast infection. This is treated mainly through diet (no sugar, no wheat, no processed flours or foods). Then exercise plays a role in keeping well. A women with endo should be going to a specialist, most ob/gyns are not trained for endo. There is a lot of controversy over surgery (excission vs. laser), conventional drug therapy (lupron, etc.), and unconventional therapy (herbs, accupuncture, etc.). Read as much as you can about the disease. And just because a doc wrote it, doesn't mean it is right. For ex) many docs boast getting pregnant is a cure. For some women, endo goes into remission for others it doesn't. Same holds true for hyst. I hope this helps you get started, Tina
