Alternative medicine
Some report relief from endometriosis pain after acupuncture treatment. However, little research is available on this — or any other — alternative treatment for endometriosis. If you're interested in pursuing this therapy in the hope that it could help you, ask your doctor to recommend a reputable acupuncturist. Check with your insurance company to see if the expense will be covered.
