Endometriosis
WOMEN'S HEALTH · ENDOMETRIOSIS SUPPORT GEELONG
Endometriosis is not 'just bad periods.' You deserve care that takes it seriously.
Endometriosis affects approximately 1 in 9 Australian women and takes an average of 6.5 years to diagnose. While naturopathic medicine cannot cure endometriosis, we can meaningfully reduce inflammation, improve pain management, support oestrogen metabolism, and improve your quality of life — working closely alongside your gynaecologist and specialist team. You shouldn't have to choose between conventional and naturopathic care. You deserve both.
Living with endometriosis — what we commonly see in our patients
Debilitating period pain
Pain outside your period
Heavy bleeding and clotting
Pain that goes well beyond 'bad cramps' — pain that stops you working, socialising, or functioning during your period. Pain requiring prescription medications or taking days off.
Flooding periods, passing clots, or consistently heavy flow requiring frequent changes. Often accompanied by significant fatigue during menstruation.

Endo belly and bloating
Severe abdominal bloating — sometimes appearing suddenly and dramatically — particularly around menstruation. The gut is commonly affected in endometriosis.
Profound fatigue
Chronic inflammation is genuinely exhausting. Many women with endometriosis experience persistent fatigue that isn't proportionate to their activity level and doesn't resolve with rest.
Endometriosis is driven by inflammation, immune dysregulation, and oestrogen
The key drivers that naturopathic medicine can address are increasingly well evidenced:
Oestrogen dominance — endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent condition | Immune dysregulation — failure to clear endometrial tissue outside the uterus | Systemic and localised inflammation — prostaglandin excess driving pain | Gut microbiome dysfunction — the estrobolome directly affects circulating oestrogen | Intestinal permeability contributing to systemic inflammation | Nutritional deficiencies — particularly omega-3s, magnesium, and vitamin D
Our naturopathic approach to endometriosis is integrative and collaborative
We work with your existing medical team, not around them. Our role is to address the modifiable drivers that surgery and hormonal medication don't target.
Hormone and inflammatory testing
Assessing oestrogen metabolism, progesterone levels, inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), and nutritional status to identify modifiable drivers.
A tailored anti-inflammatory approach — rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and fibre — combined with identification of food triggers worsening inflammation or pain.
Assessing oestrogen metabolism, progesterone levels, inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), and nutritional status to identify modifiable drivers.
Oestrogen clearance support
Assessing oestrogen metabolism, progesterone levels, inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), and nutritional status to identify modifiable drivers.
Herbal medicine for pain and inflammation
Targeted anti-inflammatory, anti-prostaglandin, and hormone-balancing herbal formulations adjusted to your symptom pattern and cycle phase.
Evidence-based interventions for endometriosis pain: magnesium, omega-3s, vitamin B6, and zinc — often dramatically underutilised in conventional management.
Nutritional pain management
We maintain communication with your gynaecologist or specialist and ensure our treatment supports rather than conflicts with your medical care.
