Is Lydia Pinkham good for someone like me with endometriosis?

Question:

I have had endometriosis for years and tried several birth control pills only to dissappoint me and find no solution, i had all the side effects and i want to no longer take them. The last ones were Depo Provera which made me bleed for two weeks and gain 20 pounds and cramps the same no change. Then the last one i tried Femcon, bleed for 12 days and also lots of cramps and gained 10 pounds, cramps still bad. Someone mentioned something about Lydia Pinkham, how long do you take it to notice the improvement in the terrible cramps and am i at risk of getting pregnant? because i read that some women take it for that, and i DO NOT want to get pregnant just want a normal period. And have tried everything and i am desperate please help me if you are informed about Lydia Pinkham.

First I have to let you know that I am not a medical professional. I can only give you input based on my own personal experience and knowledge. You must not to experiment with its body, There are ways for a woman to improve her fertility, but that is after she’s been properly diagnosed and received treatment. Generally women with endometriosis induced infertility undergo a surgical procedure known as laparoscopy to remove or vaporize any endometrial growths in the body. You should seek medical attention immediately. A medical doctor can discuss various options, prevention and treatment .

Natural therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, homeopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine among others, have proven successful for women with endometriosis.

Eating a healthy diet and taking exercise to boost the immune system and keep you body as nutritionally fit as possible can also improve changes.If in doubt, speak to your medical provider.

That's a name I've not heard in a while. I would recommend checking with your doctor before trying it.

There are some other medications being tested in the treatment of endometriosis. They are medications that are used for breast cancer patients: Arimidex and Femara. I've met a few women that have had good success with it. I have read the studies on it but they were small scale. I don't know what the recent research shows now since that initial study.

I just wanted to bring it up in case you wanted to ask your doctor about these as a possibility.
