Your Trusted Clinic for Endometriosis Treatment in Toronto!
Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue (the uterine lining that sheds with each monthly period) grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis is among the most common gynaecologic disorders affecting approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age.
The condition can lead to various symptoms, including painful menstrual periods, lower back pain, discomfort while urinating or having bowel movements, pain during or after sexual intercourse, longer menstrual cycles, bloating, constipation, and other related issues. Additionally, endometriosis often plays a role in fertility difficulties, like miscarriages, and may even cause infertility.
Toronto Wellness Centre is dedicated to achieving long-lasting relief from the pain experienced during menstrual periods as the primary objective of endometriosis treatment in Toronto.
How Is an Endometriosis Diagnosis Conducted?
Many women think that their monthly period and associated symptoms — however debilitating they may be — come with the territory. In fact, research shows that it often takes 7 years from the time a woman first experiences symptoms to receive a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis.
A diagnosis is often based on clinical findings during a pelvic exam, symptoms, and medical history. Your doctor may order a pelvic ultrasound to rule out other potential causes, while a more invasive laparoscopy procedure may be later considered to provide a definitive diagnosis.
If you suspect you may have endometriosis, we encourage you to seek medical attention or you may turn to us for endometriosis diagnosis services in Toronto. We perform traditional Chinese medical diagnosis, which involves techniques like taking the pulse and checking the tongue.
Natural Endometriosis Treatment in Toronto
Western medicine uses conventional methods such as surgery and medications like oral contraceptives, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and antagonists, and aromatase inhibitors. However, they may come with potential short- or long-term side effects.
Toronto Wellness Centre offers natural treatments based on traditional Chinese medical practices that can be pursued independently or in combination with conventional medications.
Our approach at our endometriosis clinic is firmly grounded in the principles of naturopathic medicine, which recognizes the interconnectedness of the body's systems. Since endometriosis — much like PCOS — is a collection of symptoms, a customized preconception plan may include optimizing nutrition, reducing inflammation, supporting liver and gut health, balancing hormones (especially the various types of estrogen), and more.
Our team takes a whole-patient approach to reduce the symptoms associated with endometriosis and improve your odds of becoming pregnant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the causes of endometriosis?
The causes aren't entirely known. However, one theory is that the bloodstream carries endometrial cells back through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic area instead of being discarded out of the body.
Other factors, ranging from hormonal imbalances and inflammation to immune dysfunction, environmental toxins, and chronic stress, can contribute to a diagnosis of endometriosis. There is also a strong hereditary component, so if your mother, sister, or distant cousin experience similar symptoms, you might want to get further testing.
Does endometriosis cause infertility or vice versa?
Endometriosis can contribute to infertility in patients, but the impact depends on factors such as the stage/grade and type of endometriosis. This considers factors such as the location, depth, size, and amount of tissue involved. The severity ranges from stage 1 (minimal) to stage 4 (severe), and individuals with stage 4 endometriosis are more likely to experience difficulties with fertility.
Is there a cure for endometriosis?
While there is currently no known cure for endometriosis, there are proactive measures you can take to effectively manage and alleviate your symptoms, as well as improve your chances of fertility.
What natural treatments are helpful for endometriosis?
Our team will create a plan tailored to your specific stage of endometriosis to prepare your body for fertility treatment. This plan may include dietary adjustments, nutrition, and supplement protocols. Additionally, acupuncture and other interventions may be incorporated to alleviate overall pain levels. Contact us today to discuss your case and see how we can assist you.
Can acupuncture provide relief from endometriosis symptoms?
Absolutely! Research has demonstrated that acupuncture can effectively alleviate menstrual pain associated with endometriosis, reduce the size of pelvic masses, and decrease CA125 levels, a biomarker related to various types of cancer, endometriosis, and menstrual disorders. For optimal results, acupuncture is typically combined with a comprehensive nutritional program that addresses multiple facets of endometriosis.
