The neuro-psycho-angio basis of endometriosis

During the session Leah covers:

• The complexity of endometriosis as a condition, and the unique features of endometriosis cells immunologically, neurologically, psychologically, vascularly, and clinically.
• The impact of trauma on endometriosis – women with endometriosis reported significantly more often than control women a history of sexual abuse, emotional abuse and emotional neglect (Liebermann et al, 2018).
• The impact of childhood abuse and miscarriage have also been documented.
• Leah posed the question: What if endometriosis cells were physiological and cellular vehicles for trauma?
• How to support patients with endometriosis with persistent pain and repair their pain interpretation and pain processing.
• The key complementary medicine treatment interventions for inflammation, persistent pain and repairing neuronal signalling.
• A case of endometriosis with significant pain - Dx at 15 years and Hx 4 laparoscopies.
• Conventional analgesics were proving ineffective.
