Endometriosis — Integrative Care in Marylebone, London
Endometriosis affects roughly 1 in 10 UK women of reproductive age. Body Perfected works alongside gynaecology teams — acupuncture, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and herbal medicine to address pain, cycle disruption, and fertility implications.
Book ConsultationWhat drives this concern
- Retrograde menstruation — endometrial cells reach the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes
- Genetic predisposition — endometriosis runs in families
- Immune-system irregularities that allow misplaced tissue to grow rather than be cleared
- Hormonal — oestrogen drives growth of endometrial deposits
- Chronic inflammation as a self-reinforcing local environment
- Surgical scars — caesarean or other pelvic surgery can transfer cells (rare)

Common
questions
Will integrative care work without surgery?
Excision surgery remains the gold-standard for symptomatic endometriosis when imaging or laparoscopy confirms disease. Integrative care is supportive — for pain control, cycle regulation, fertility preparation, and post-surgical recovery. We work alongside your gynaecology team and we will recommend a specialist consultation if your presentation suggests one is needed.
How does acupuncture help with endometriosis pain?
Acupuncture appears to influence pain through endogenous opioid pathways, reduce pelvic muscle tension, and support cycle regulation. Several systematic reviews report meaningful pain-reduction at 8 to 12 weeks of regular treatment. We typically pair sessions with nutritional and herbal support targeting the inflammatory drivers.
Should I change my diet for endometriosis?
Anti-inflammatory eating patterns — Mediterranean-style or low-FODMAP where the gut is involved — have evidence of pain reduction in endometriosis. We tailor nutritional recommendations to your symptom pattern, your cycle, and any other diagnoses (IBS, hypothyroidism, PCOS) — not a one-size-fits-all elimination diet.
Is endometriosis the reason I cannot get pregnant?
Endometriosis is associated with subfertility but does not always cause it. About 30 to 50% of women with endometriosis experience subfertility. A full fertility workup (semen analysis, ovarian reserve, tubal patency) clarifies whether endometriosis is the operative factor, alongside other potential causes.
