Orbuch, I: Beating Endo (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

From two of the world’s leading experts in endometriosis, an essential, first-of-its-kind book filled with practical guidance and a proven regimen for beating the disease.

Approximately 1 in 10 women are estimated to have endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that is the result of abnormal tissue growing around the uterus and throughout the pelvis, causing chronic pain, limiting activity, and often leading to infertility. Yet despite its prevalence, more than a decade typically passes before the average woman receives an accurate diagnosis of “endo.” Once she does, she’s often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for surgery.

Now, leading gynecologist and laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Iris Orbuch and world-renowned pelvic pain specialist and physical therapist Amy Stein have come together to create a unique and  radically effective approach to the disease. In Beating Endo, they offer a comprehensive  guide to ways in which the endo sufferer,  working with skilled healthcare practitioners, can take charge of her disease, addressing the cascade of coexisting conditions that it generates—from muscle pain to gastrointestinal ailments to painful bladder syndrome—and cooling her central nervous system to reduce inflammation and ease her pain.

Beating Endo offers readers a proven, multimodal protocol that targets these  coexisting conditions through nutrition, physical therapy, product choices, and mindfulness strategies. Incorporating the expertise of a network of endometriosis “warriors”—including doctors, nurses, nutritionists, pain psychologists, and yoga masters—Beating Endo is the first resource of its kind to offer an interdisciplinary approach to restoring health, vitality, and quality of life to women with endo.
