Endometriosis
Endometriosis-related pain, heavy bleeding, and fertility challenges — approached with acupuncture and herbal medicine at AHC Chicago.
Overview
About endometriosis
Endometriosis in TCM is understood as a Blood-stagnation pattern in the pelvis, often complicated by Cold or Qi stagnation. Treatment aims to move stagnation, reduce inflammation, and address the underlying pattern. This is a chronic condition — the goal is symptom reduction and quality-of-life improvement over multiple cycles, not a cure.
Treatment
How we treat it
Sessions timed to the cycle (especially in the luteal phase and around menses) combined with continuous herbal support form the core approach. For patients pursuing surgical management or hormonal therapy we coordinate as complementary care. Sustained improvement typically requires 3–6 months of consistent treatment.
