Endometriosis is more common in women who are experiencing infertility than in fertile women, but the condition does not necessarily cause infertility. Women of all ages are at risk for endometriosis. The exact cause of it has not been identified yet. However it has been found that retrograde menstruation, or backflow of menstrual fluid, may play a key role.
Diet & Nutrition
Dietary is also a measure that can be adopted to help cure endometriosis. Eating a healthful diet of low refined carbohydrates and limiting caffeine, sugar, preservatives, additives, red meats and processed foods has been shown to be helpful in several patients. There is also evidence that certain diets with promoting anti-inflammatory, healing properties can promote hormonal balance and reduce symptoms.
Exercise
Exercise is shown to be effective in relieving stress, reducing pain and fighting depression, because it can stimulate the release of endorphins.
Herbal Medicines
Herbal Medicines like Fuyan Pill has been confirmed effective to treat endometriosis. Trained herbalists believe this treatment works well because of the impact selected remedies have on excess levels of estrogen, suggested to be linked to the flare of endometriosis pain.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is another TCM therapy that can bring relief by restoring the balance and "energy flow" of our bodies. It's also believed that acupuncture also releases endorphins, a natural painkiller produced by the body. Acupuncture is presented by the insertion of thin needles at various points in the skin.
E. Aromatherapy
