Sufferers may struggle with side effects and\/or risks from conventional medical and surgical treatments, or not get pain relief. Increasing numbers of endometriosis patients wish to explore holistic management with fewer side effects, however it is important that medical professionals maintain an evidence-based practice for recommended treatments. We present up-to-date evidence of holistic strategies used for managing ERPP including nutrition, body and mind therapies, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the use of adjunct devices such as phallus length reducers and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Recent findings:\n                    <ns3:bold>Nutrition:<\/ns3:bold>\n                    Gluten-free, low-nickel and high intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids diets improve ERPP. Low FODMAP (fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols), plant-based diet and antioxidant vitamin supplementation is helpful including those with concurrent irritable bowel syndrome.\n                    <ns3:bold>Body and Mind:<\/ns3:bold>\n                    Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is beneficial in postoperative pain reduction, whilst mindfulness has been shown to reduce pain scores and dyschezia. Progressive muscle relaxation therapy and regular yoga sessions improve ERPP and Quality of life.\n                    <ns3:bold>Acupuncture:<\/ns3:bold>\n                    Acupuncture and moxibustion show improved pain scores compared to conventional therapies alone.\n                    <ns3:bold>Adjunct devices:<\/ns3:bold>\n                    TENS improves deep dyspareunia and reduces the number of days pain is experienced. Summary: Holistic management strategies for ERPP should be incorporated into routine counselling when discussing conservative, medical and or surgical treatments for endometriosis. The growing evidence presented for the use of holistic management strategies gives hope to those patients who cannot have, or don\u2019t respond to conventional approaches and as an adjunct alongside standard treatments. These findings should be incorporated into the routine counselling when seeing patients in the gynaecology outpatient setting presenting with chronic pelvic pain.\n                  <\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.142586.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,8]],"date-time":"2024-11-08T05:35:10Z","timestamp":1731044110000},"page":"359","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Holistic approaches to living well with endometriosis"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3323-4113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Desai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Strong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Ball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms221910554","article-title":"Endometriosis: Epidemiology, Classification, Pathogenesis, Treatment and Genetics (Review of Literature).","volume":"22","author":"B Smolarz","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int J Mol Sci."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1447-1456","DOI":"10.2147\/JPR.S197667","article-title":"Research on central sensitization of endometriosis-associated pain: a systematic review of the literature.","volume":"12","author":"P Zheng","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Pain Res."},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"881-888.e11","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jogc.2019.08.004","article-title":"Surgical Outcomes in Patients With Endometriosis: A Systematic Review.","volume":"42","author":"S Singh","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Obstet Gynaecol Can."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"69-80","DOI":"10.1530\/RAF-20-0057","article-title":"Systematic review of patient-specific pre-operative predictors of pain improvement to endometriosis surgery.","volume":"2","author":"E Ball","year":"2021","journal-title":"Reprod Fertil."},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"425","DOI":"10.1186\/s13063-023-07386-x","article-title":"Effectiveness of laparoscopic removal of isolated superficial peritoneal endometriosis for the management of chronic pelvic pain in women (ESPriT2): protocol for a multi-centre randomised controlled trial.","volume":"24","author":"S Mackenzie","year":"2023","journal-title":"Trials."},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"277-285","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.15019","article-title":"Vascular- and nerve-sparing bowel resection for deep endometriosis: A retrospective single-center study.","volume":"164","author":"M Ianieri","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int J Gynaecol Obstet."},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"357-362","DOI":"10.1111\/ajo.12358","article-title":"Does laparoscopic shaving for deep infiltrating endometriosis alter intestinal function?
