Finding Solace Beyond Surgery: Traditional Asian Medicine for Endometriosis in Beaverton, Oregon

Reclaiming Your Life from Endometriosis Pain

Endometriosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, can wreak havoc on a woman’s physical and emotional well-being. From debilitating cramps and chronic pelvic pain to infertility and emotional distress, endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide. While conventional treatments often focus on surgery or hormonal therapy, many women in Oregon are seeking alternative, holistic approaches to manage their symptoms and reclaim control of their lives.

Dr. Kihyon Sohn, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in Beaverton, Oregon, offers hope for women struggling with endometriosis. Dr. Sohn’s approach, rooted in traditional Asian medicine, delves beyond the physical symptoms to address the underlying energetic imbalances contributing to the condition.

Acupuncture: Restoring Balance and Harmony

Acupuncture, a cornerstone of traditional Asian medicine, involves inserting fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (qi). In the context of endometriosis, acupuncture aims to:

• Reduce pain and inflammation: By stimulating the release of pain-relieving endorphins and regulating inflammatory pathways, acupuncture can significantly alleviate pelvic pain and cramping.
• Improve blood circulation: Endometriosis can lead to restricted blood flow in the pelvic region. Acupuncture helps promote circulation, healing nutrients to affected tissues, and reducing congestion.
• Balance hormones: Hormonal imbalances are often implicated in endometriosis. Acupuncture can help regulate hormone production, creating a more favorable hormonal environment for managing the condition.

“After years of struggling with debilitating endometriosis pain, I found relief through Dr. Sohn’s acupuncture treatments. Not only did the pain decrease significantly, but I also experienced a renewed sense of energy and well-being.” – Tracy B., Portland, OR

Herbal Medicine: Nature’s Healing Touch

Traditional Asian medicine recognizes the potent therapeutic properties of medicinal herbs. Dr. Sohn incorporates customized herbal formulas into his treatment plans to:

• Address underlying imbalances: Specific herbs can target the root cause of endometriosis, addressing dampness, blood stagnation, or other energetic disharmonies.
• Promote detoxification: Certain herbs support the body’s natural detoxification processes, helping eliminate excess hormones and inflammatory compounds contributing to endometriosis symptoms.
• Nourish and strengthen the body: Alongside addressing imbalances, Dr. Sohn’s herbal prescriptions often include herbs that nourish the reproductive system and enhance overall health.

A Holistic Path to Healing

Dr. Sohn’s approach to endometriosis goes beyond symptom management. He emphasizes the importance of a holistic lifestyle that includes:

• Nutritional guidance: Eating a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods and avoiding foods exacerbating symptoms can significantly impact endometriosis management.
• Stress reduction: Chronic stress can worsen endometriosis symptoms. Dr. Sohn may recommend stress-management techniques such as meditation or yoga to promote relaxation and inner balance.
• Lifestyle adjustments: Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy relationships contribute to well-being and can support endometriosis management.
