What position helps endometriosis pain?

FAQ

Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside of the uterus, causing pain and discomfort. While there is no one position that can completely eliminate endometriosis pain, certain positions may help to alleviate some of the discomfort.

  1. Side-lying position: Lying on your side with a pillow between your legs can help reduce pelvic pain and pressure.
  2. Knee-to-chest position: Lying on your back and bringing your knees up to your chest can help stretch the pelvic muscles and provide relief from cramping.
  3. Child’s pose: This yoga pose can help relieve lower back pain and stretch the pelvic area. Kneel on the floor with your arms stretched out in front of you and lower your head and chest towards the floor.
  4. Modified missionary position: This position involves the female partner lying on her back with a pillow under her hips to elevate the pelvic area. The male partner then enters from a kneeling position, allowing for deeper penetration while minimizing pressure on the uterus.

It’s important to note that what works for one person may not work for another. It’s best to experiment with different positions to find what provides the most relief for your individual needs. Additionally, managing endometriosis pain often involves a combination of treatments, including medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery. It’s important to speak with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment options.
