Endometriosis

Periods so painful you miss school, work, or life? Pain with sex? Constant fatigue?

At Kansas City Integrative Health (KCIH) in Overland Park, we hear you—endometriosis is more than cramps. It’s tissue growing outside the uterus, swelling with your cycle, causing agony, infertility, and exhaustion. Many women suffer for years, ignoring the pain or hearing “it’s normal” from doctors who prescribe birth control to mask it. The average diagnosis takes 7–10 years, often after dismissing symptoms or failed birth control pill trials. If you missed high school events from period pain (and still do), that’s a major red flag. Some have “silent” endometriosis—no obvious signs until fertility struggles or routine scans reveal it.

 
Endometriosis affects about 1 in 7 reproductive-age women, with lesions on ovaries (endometriomas), pelvis, bowels, or beyond. Hormones like excess estrogen fuel growth, alongside inflammation, immune glitches, genetics, and toxins (dioxins from polluted food/water, BPA/phthalates in plastics). Symptoms vary: debilitating menstrual cramps, painful intercourse, ovulatory aches, bowel/bladder issues, infertility, or chronic tiredness. Even without pain, silent cases impact fertility.
 
We improve symptoms naturally: reduce pain, lighten flows, boost energy, and support natural hormone health (and fertilty). Our naturopathic approach tests hormones (cycle-timed), inflammation, gut health, omega levels, toxins and more. Low omega-3s, gut microbiome dysbiosis, toxins, and more worsen inflammation—we check and correct. Studied supplements like curcumin, NAC, and omega-3s ease pain and lesions; we guide safe use.
 
Lifestyle matters: acupuncture calms nerves and boosts pelvic flow—many feel relief in sessions. Yoga and pelvic floor PT referrals result in relaxed tight muscles and cuts stress. For some, laparoscopy is best—we partner with top local surgeons we trust. We prep you pre-op, speed recovery post-op, and prevent recurrence with anti-inflammatory plans, hormone balance, and fertility preservation strategies. 
 
We listen without dismissal, ease pain at the source, and support fertility or surgery recovery. Natural tools for real relief.
