What does endometriosis feel like?

Condition analysis: 

Pain in the pelvic region is the most common symptom of the disease. Though some women who have endometriosis do not experience any symptoms. The degree of pain ranges from very mild to severe pain that can make it impossible for a woman to go about her normal life. Some women describe the pain as sharp and burning. It may last all month long, but is usually worse during menstruation, with deep penetration during sex, or with bowel movements. Some women report no pain at all. Other symptoms may include:

-- abnormal menstrual bleeding

-- severe menstrual cramps

-- pelvic pain distinct from menstrual cramps

-- backache

-- pain during or after sexual penetration

-- painful bowel movements

-- pain with exercise

-- painful pelvic examination

Instructions: 

Castor Oil: An age-old effective remedy for endometriosis is castor oil. Castor oil helps the body get rid of excess tissues and toxins. It should be used at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, when cramping is first noticed. This will help reduce the severity of symptoms throughout the cycle.

Mix eight drops of lavender essential oil and one-fourth cup of castor oil.

Soak a washcloth in this mixture, fold it and heat it in the microwave until it is comfortably warm. Place the warm cloth directly on your lower stomach.

Put a piece of plastic on top of the cloth and place a hot water bottle on top of that.

Use the pack once a day for 30 to 60 minutes.

Rinse off the oil with lukewarm water after each application.

Note: Do not use this remedy during menstrual flow.
