Natural Supplements that may help Endo?
It has been suspected by two different doctors I might have endo, one wants to go in and investigate. However, I am absolutely terrified of having an op and considering my symptoms aren't bad, I'm looking at alternatives first.
Has anyone tried any of the below as a natural Endo treatment?
Soy Isoflavones - this one is tricky because some resources state it can make things WORSE, but others say it can reduce the risk and the isoflavones inhibits the aromatase enzyme.
Resveratrol - studies have shown this supplement reduces the volume of endometriotic lesions and actually regressed endo in rats.
Omega 3 - I am already drinking chia seeds which are already high in Omega 3, this helps endo by reducing period pain (which isn't an issue for me though)
Tumeric / curcumin - a well known anti-inflammatory, curcumin may help with endometriosis by reducing estradiol production. Moreover, curcumin can direct act on invasion, adhesion, apoptosis and angiogenesis in endometrial lesions.
Also, has anyone tried a cortisol blocker?
Off-kilter Cortisol levels can suppress ovarian function and even cause your fertility hormones to weaken - cortisol is your stress hormone and my husband is extremely, extremely stressed.
So I will likely go under the knife at some point, but for now I'd like see about treating it naturally?
