Complementary Therapy

Although complementary treatments have not been proven scientifically, many women feel that they can help to control the symptoms of endometriosis.

Popular Treatments are:-

Acupuncture
Massage
Aromatherapy
Hypnosis
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

These therapies can be used in conjunction with your medical/surgical treatments to help you manage your symptoms. They will not cure or stop endometriosis forming. Your specialist nurse can provide more information during your consultation.

Many complementary therapists have self-regulating bodies through which you can find a qualified practitioner. Certain treatments involve the use of medicines which are not regulated, please ensure that you do not take anything that may interfere with any medication that has been prescribed for you.

A big thank you to Luz Hughes. She was kind and amazing, and did her best to support me on the day of my surgery and not only I felt safe and encouraged. I feel that I wouldn’t have gone through the procedure if it wasn’t for her who put a lot of effort to firstly calm me down but also to explain me the process. I was surprised and impressed to have received a phone call at home after my discharge and it really made me feel special, well looked after and in good hands. The follow up call really make so much difference as I wasn’t sure how the procedure went and what exactly was done but the nurses called me and updated me and I had a chance to discuss the further plans. I am so pleased to have been looked after by such amazing team who put so much effort into raising my chances of finally becoming a mummy 😊. Thank you!
