Article About New Endometriosis Treatment - No Surgery or Drugs

Hi Everyone,

I came across this press release concerning a new treatment for endometriosis:

"Scientists at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) reported encouraging findings on a new treatment for endometriosis pain using a pelvic physical therapy that feels like a deep massage. Until now, the primary treatments for endometriosis pain have involved either surgery or drugs."

The rest of the article can be found at: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,15389.shtml

According to the press release, this physical therapy, called the Wurn Technique, decreased pain throughout the menstrual cycle and up to six weeks after therapy. The therapy has even been found to have "significantly decreased dyspareunia (intercourse pain) and improved sexual function for women with endometriosis."

This sounds like good news for us as it will reduce our pain without the risks associated with surgery or the medications we now take. Something to keep watching.

WALK GOOD!!!
