#Repost @endoupdate with @get_repost ・・・ Where patients feel failed by existing healthcare systems, they will invariably turn to self management strategies. Although legal in some forms in some places, cannabis use has been a long standing treatment for chronic pain. Given its inconsistent worldwide legality, the true value of such substances in endometriosis treatment is difficult to study. At present we can only rely on small studies and personal anecdotes, but hopefully future research will clarify the pros and cons of such self management strategies.

Do you know the stages/ grades of #Endometriosis has no bearing on the quality of life of severity of symptoms for #Endo patients? Stages or Grades of Endometriosis​. Endometriosis is often classified as mild, moderate or severe or recorded in surgical notes as stage or grade I - IV. ​ 1. Mild or stage / grade I endometriosis appears as small patches or surface lesions scattered around the pelvic cavity. ​ ​ 2. Moderate or stage / grade I or II endometriosis appears as larger widespread disease starting to infiltrate tissue and often found on the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments and Pouch of Douglas. Sometimes there is also significant scarring and adhesions. ​ ​ 3. Severe or stage / grade IV endometriosis affects most of the pelvic organs, often with distortion of the anatomy and adhesions.​ These stages of endometriosis are accepted worldwide and described by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. They provide a useful tool but have limitations as well. For instance the extent of endometriosis is not generally related to the symptoms experienced. #endoaustralia #1in10 #endoeducation #endofacts
