Beating Endo

This empowering book provides the prescription by which women afflicted with endometriosis can reclaim their lives. Written by a surgeon and physical therapist who have treated women of all ages and helped them reclaim their lives.

Beating Endo addresses endometriosis as an inflammatory response that results when tissue is found outside the uterus, initiating a disease process and an array of maladies. Dr Iris Orbuch, a surgeon, and Amy Stein, a physical therapist, have seen endometriosis's harm and agony up close. They have created this self-care guide for women on how to handle their endometriosis in order to:

• Avoid surgery (if at all possible),
• Understand what to do before surgery (should they absolutely need it); and
• Learn how to live and what to do post-surgery so that women afflicted by this disease can reclaim their lives.

Dr Orbuch and Amy Stein engage with the so-called endometriosis "warriors"—specialists across a range of practices with whom they routinely share knowledge and insights on what works best for the women they care for. This book offers a multi-disciplinary holistic plan complete with practices women can use to repair their bodies and lives.
