Abstract
ENDOMETRIOSIS IS A CHRONIC DISORDER CAUSING REDUCED QUALITY OF LIFE MAINLY DUE TO CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN. MEDICAL AND SURGICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE NON -CURATIVE AND SOMETIMES HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS. IN RECENT YEARS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE POPULAR DUE TO ITS FEWER SIDE EFFECTS. FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION, ESPECIALLY ORGANIC, RED MEAT AND OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS HAVE SHOWN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE. NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS SUCH AS SILYMARIN, MELATONIN, EVENING PRIMROSE OIL AND CERTAIN VITAMINS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DECREASED LEVELS OF CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN. REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ACUPUNTURE REPRESENT A FEASIBLE APPROACH IN THE LONG RUN FOR THE ALLEVIATION OF CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN.
