Can endometriosis be treated with honey?

According to medical statistics, endometriosis is found in every tenth to fifteenth patient who consulted a gynecologist. The disease is difficult to diagnose and takes a long time. This often takes several years. And the most reliable diagnostic method is still laparoscopy.

Treating endometriosis with honey is unlikely to resolve such a serious health problem. However, women resort to this method, as well as to treatment with various herbal preparations, in an attempt to avoid surgery.

Features of the disease

The causes of pathology are not fully known to medicine. But according to the WHO definition, the disease is hormone-dependent – with hormonal imbalance, the endometrial cells lining the inner uterus begin to grow.

Once on other organs, they form foci and continue to respond to the menstrual cycle – they work in the same mode as inside the uterus. Hence the threat of bleeding, development of the inflammatory process, dull pain.

There are two forms of the pathological process:

  • genital, when only the genitals are affected;
  • extragenital, when other organs of the pelvis and peritoneum are involved (in especially difficult cases, even the lungs suffer).

The disease develops in girls and women during the reproductive period, that is, from the moment of the first menstruation until the onset of menopause. With the attenuation of reproductive functions, the disappearance of the symptoms of endometriosis, resorption of the foci is possible.

Factors capable of starting a pathological process include:

  • surgical interventions on the pelvic organs, including gynecological – abortion, cauterization of erosion, and so on;
  • genetic predisposition (heredity);
  • endocrine disruption;
  • inflammatory diseases of the reproductive organs not eliminated in time;
  • a sedentary lifestyle (stagnation of blood in the pelvis is harmful);
  • alcohol abuse, smoking.

It is necessary to consult a gynecologist:

  • with pain during or after intercourse;
  • with frequent interruptions of the cycle or soreness of menstruation;
  • when dull pain occurs during bowel movements, urination;
  • if you suspect infertility;
  • with bloody discharge between periods;
  • with an increase in body temperature during critical days.

Imaging research methods (MRI or ultrasound) in most cases are not very informative. An accurate diagnosis is established after laparoscopy, removal of diseased tissue with its subsequent histological examination.

However, ultrasound examination is indicated for the genital form of pathology. It helps detect characteristic endometriotic cysts (foci) on the ovaries. In this case, to preserve fertility, the formations are also promptly removed with simultaneous control of hormonal levels.

Medotherapy

Please note that endometriosis is a benign disease and is chronic in nature with periods of exacerbation… When passing into a severe form, it is necessary to be observed by several specialists:

  • gynecologist;
  • urologist;
  • proctologist.

There are special certified medical centers, for example, in Germany (Berlin, Essen)… More information can be found at the Endometriose Vereiningung Deutschland eV (website of the treatment community in Germany).

The fact is that an increase in the endometrium of the rectum, bladder and other nearby organs increases the risk of oncology in this place..

Obviously, honey treatment cannot act as a panacea. It only helps to strengthen the immune system, relieve acute inflammation.

In the collections of folk treatment, you can find many options for herbal preparations recommended for this disease. But at the same time, there are very few recipes that include honey or other beekeeping products. It is likely that bee products are not critical in the treatment of endometriosis.

Here’s the main challenge:

  • normalize hormonal levels (you need competent drug therapy);
  • relieve acute inflammation;
  • contribute to the resorption of foci in one way or another, including surgical excision, laser cauterization.

Propolis-honey mixture

It is taken:

  • 10 grams of propolis crumbs;
  • 100 grams of honey product.

To obtain small crumbs, propolis, purified from all impurities, is frozen, and only after that it is crushed.

Then add the crumb to honey, mix thoroughly. The mixture is heated in a water bath at 36-40 degrees for twenty minutes. Then filter through two or three layers of gauze.

The medicine is stored in the refrigerator, taking a teaspoon two to three times a day for 1,5-2 months.

Herbal Fees

Also, natural honey can be added to cooked and cooled herbal infusions, decoctions… Such an additive saturates the drink with vitamins and microelements, acting as a general tonic.

Fighting anemia

If there is significant blood loss and anemia, it may be helpful to consume pure honey..

Dark varieties containing iron, such as buckwheat, are suitable for this purpose.

Противопоказания

Natural honey is contraindicated:

  • with diabetes mellitus (take with great care and after consulting a doctor!).

We emphasize once again – self-medication for endometriosis is excluded! Incorrect and untimely drug treatment leads to infertility or the transition of pathology to a severe form, characterized by multiple foci, the formation of adhesions. Be attentive to your health.
