The 10 Best Products for Endometriosis Symptoms
Endometriosis is a painful condition that affects 1 in 10 women and people with uteruses worldwide. If that number includes you, we’re here for you!
Endometriosis causes inflammation and scar tissue formation when tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus. This tissue can be commonly found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic floor. Over time, fibrous tissues may grow and form adhesions, which cause pelvic organs to stick together.
Symptoms of endometriosis vary but often include pelvic pain and extreme cramps (especially during menstruation), excessive bleeding during periods, pain during sex, infertility, chronic fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation and bloating. In many cases, the pain may be debilitating enough to force you to cancel plans, stay home from work or school, or not even leave the house.
At Pelvic Health & Wellness, we’re always looking for products that can help you maintain an at-home self-care routine when your endometriosis symptoms flare. We hope you find these products to be helpful in managing your endo symptoms such as pelvic pain, cramps, and a heavy flow.
Here’s our list of the top 10 products for managing your endometriosis symptoms:
Heating Pad (Menstruation Crustacean)
Please check with your physician before adding any supplements to your routine. Below, we list four supplements that research has shown may improve endometriosis symptoms. Learn more here.
Vitamin D
While these products can be helpful for your at-home self-care routine when symptoms flare, it’s essential to develop a support network of healthcare professionals who understand endometriosis and believe in you. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help reduce pelvic pain by reducing adhesions, restoring blood flow to affected organs, and loosening scar tissue.
We understand it can be exhausting to navigate healthcare, and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out, and we are here to help.
