Endometriosis is a chronic health complaint that is experienced by
up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis results in
significant psychological and financial burden. Surgical and
pharmacological management can alleviate symptoms, but recurrence
of endometriosis within one year is common. Many women use
complementary and alternative therapies when the response to
conventional medical treatments is inadequate.The latest book in
the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series uses a 'whole
evidence' approach to summarise the management of endometriosis
with Chinese medicine treatments. The current understanding of
endometriosis - including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment - is
summarised from conventional medicine and Chinese medicine
perspectives. Next, a systematic approach is used to understand how
endometriosis was treated with Chinese medicine in past
eras.Internationally recognised scientific methods are used to
identify and evaluate the clinical evidence for Chinese herbal
medicine, acupuncture and related therapies. The potential
mechanisms of herbal medicines are identified from experimental
studies. The final chapter synthesises the evidence from the
different literature sources and offers suggestions for
contemporary clinical practice and future research.This book is a
handy desktop reference for both clinicians and students of Chinese
and integrative medicine. It provides a comprehensive synthesis of
both traditional and contemporary knowledge that can inform
clinical decision-making.
