Endometriosis is associated with prevalence of comorbid conditions in migraine

Atisha's picture

This was an interesting study that showed how women with endometriosis were more likely to suffer with other problems like:

Migraines- increased severity and frequency
Menorrhagia
Dysmenorrhea
Infertility
Depression
Anxiety
IBS
Fybromyalgia
interstitial cystitis
chronic fatigue syndrome

I like the wholism idea behind this western study. It shows how, in a way, the other signs and symptoms that women present with endometriosis are significant in terms of how she will be treated- ie. pattern differientation! I see blood stasis, blood heat, Qi stagnation, qi and/ or blood vacuity, dampness- with or with out heat.........
