From two of the world’s leading experts in endometriosis comes an essential, first-of-its kind book that unwraps the mystery of the disease and gives women the tools they need to reclaim their lives from it.

Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain, limits life’s activities, and may lead to infertility. Despite the disease’s prevalence, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Once she does, she’s often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for the wrong kind of surgery. Beating Endo arms women with what has long been missing—even within the medical community—namely, cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do to take charge of her fight against it.

Leading gynecologist and endometriosis specialist Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch and world-renowned pelvic pain specialist and physical therapist Dr. Amy Stein have long partnered with each other and with other healthcare practitioners to address the disease’s host of co-existing conditions—which can include pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, gastrointestinal ailments, painful bladder syndrome, central nervous system sensitization—through a whole-mind/whole-body approach. Now, Beating Endo formalizes the multimodal program they developed, offering readers an anti-inflammatory lifestyle protocol that incorporates physical therapy, nutrition, mindfulness, and environment to systematically addresses each of the disease’s co-conditions on an ongoing basis up to and following excision surgery. This is the program that has achieved successful outcomes for their patients; it is the program that works to restore health, vitality, and quality of life to women with endo.

No more “misdiagnosis roulette” and no more limits on women’s lives: Beating Endo puts the tools of renewed health in the hands of those whose health is at risk.

HEAL PELVIC PAIN offers readers relief and recovery for this illness through a program of strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises, massage techniques, nutritional basics and self-care therapies. The book addresses the various pelvic floor disorders, including pain, interstitial cystitis, pudendal neuralgia, irritable bowel syndrome, endometriosis, incontinence, non-bacterial prostatitis, or discomfort during or after sexual activity--without drugs or surgery.

The book also provides valuable information that addresses:

* The pelvic floor and its importance in urinary, bowel and sexual function

* How pelvic floor dysfunction can be mistaken for many other things

* A program that can ease pain, bladder, bowel and/or sexual dysfunction without surgery

* How to relieve pain in an intimate area

* Enhancing ones sex life well into the elderly years

* The effect this malady has on men, women and children and during and after pregnancy

* A muscle-strengthening regimen that boosts sexual pleasure, eliminates incontinence, increases the bodies' core strength and pelvic stability.

* Guidelines on foods and beverages that ease your discomfort, and assist in bladder and bowel disorders

* Suggestions for stress- and pain-reducing home spa treatments

* Patient testimonials

* Resource guide

The reader will participate in a "symptoms monitor" to track his or her symptoms and how it affects their daily life. As the reader goes through the exercise and treatment recommendations, he or she can track their improvement and progress according to their symptoms monitor.

The book provides 2 different programs consisting of various exercises. Chapter 3 focuses on all the various pain syndromes related to urinary, bowel or sexual dysfunction, including IC, IBS, urinary and/or bowel frequency, urgency or retention, pudendal neuralgia, prostatitis, endometriosis, PID and more. Chapter 4 addresses pelvic floor muscle weakness and incoordination resulting in incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and/or decreased sexual response. The book is comprehensive but easy to read. It is a great resource for healthcare providers and for those that suffer.

Very informative

I have stage 4 endo with two surgeries and continue to suffer with endo. This is the best book I’ve read on endo. I wish this doctor lived closer to me. She sounds incredible, especially since she has endo, her brother in law is a GI doctor and her dad is a cardiologist. I never knew PT would help endo.
It’s tough following food and drink restrictions to get down inflammation, but I’ll give it shot. Finally, a book to share with others that’ll actually calm inflammation and lower pain levels without drugs doctors push that don’t even stop endo. Crazy how endo, bladder and gut pain/problems and bad circulation are all connected.

Best Holistic Book on Endo Available

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is one of the best books you'll get on endometriosis to date. The authors put together all the data on endo to help sufferers understand the very holistic picture of what endometriosis is so you can start addressing it in new ways. I have so much respect for the author who, a surgeon herself, recommends some even wait to get surgery until they've used other holistic means to "calm the body down". Inflammation in the endo body is huge, and these ladies help others pinpoint ways to address it.

Reading some other reviews and I agree that the path laid out for whole endo treatment as recommended in this book is expensive for many. However, we still absolutely need this information to help us lobby for better health services as women with endo, and more affordable care. It can also offer hope for treatment so, even if you can't afford it right now, someone may finally understand there's an entire avenue they've never approached (like pelvic floor rehab) and can start saving. Even if it takes a few years to save, some of the mythologies may help immensely, and better late than never in my book.

Having endo sucks, it's not fun to have and it's not cheap to get rid of, but there's still so much that can be done for free, in the kitchen, with breath, mindfulness, etc. Anyways, happy to be able to recommend this book to my clients and hope it helps many more women understand just how holistic endo treatment need be :)

Could be Lifechanging if Applied

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021

I'm giving this 4.5 out of 5 stars because its the most helpful book on endometriosis with the most accurate up-to-date theories on the causes of endo and the most research and clinical-based treatment approaches that I have read to date in an easy to read and follow format. I breezed through the book. This book basically pinpointed and tied together many of the symptoms I have been expereincing and explained the whys and offers multiple wasy to attemp to alleivate the,. these are things that my well meaning GYN hasnt reallt discussed and my GI dr have missed. They are very clear that noting other than surgery cures endo but a multi layred apprach can really help. I was already doing a few of the protocol and plan to try as much as possible.

The reason I did not give it 5 stars...although they list plenty of references and resources for help with PT, dietary changes, mental/emotional help, etc, they don't really refer you to any other surgeons or doctors. I realize part of wiriting the book is for revenue and to build reputaion and practice, but its obviuolsy not not logicistically and/or finacilally possible for most suffering to see the authors for treatment. They mention that there are about 100 skilled excision surgeons out there so it woudl be nice to have a referral list included. In addition, many reviews state that much of what they are suggesting is not attainbale for those financially limited and this is probably true and hopefuly finnicail help for endo related excision surgery and supportive therapies might soon become available. That being said, I think every GYN should read this book!

Excellent book & must read! Needs a quick-reference treatment plan one-pager

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

Love this book. It gives explanations that I have not found elsewhere and is clear about the treatment plans where even my doctors didn't give enough clarity. I was shocked at how helpful this book has been so far. Great job.

What I wish was included? Worksheet/workbook pages included at the end for each section's suggestions. "Have IC? Follow this summary guide with the Endo nutrition guide below and here is your infographic for exercises..." for example. Instead I will be meticulously going through this book and pulling out this info in every section to rewrite it into my own guide. I love that the info is in the book in easy-to-find sections but, as someone constantly fatiqued and in pain, taking the time to extract this info for my brain fog to understand mid-flare will be a bit of a tedious task.

Must read if willing to make the lifestyle changes!!

Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Don't be fooled by the negative reviews, this book is beyond helpful! Anyone who has suffered with endometriosis knows that you HAVE to make lifestyle changes to help yourself besides just considering medications and/or surgery as this condition affects your body as a whole. I have been suffering from endometriosis for over 10 years and I wish I had known a lot of this information sooner. So many things described in this book are things I only learned recently from my new pelvic floor therapist (i.e. squatty potty, ohnut, pelvic wands). This book does a great job at explaining how endometriosis affects each system as well so you understand what your body is going through. I definitely recommend reading this and applying it to your life as best as you can because there are limited resources for us women at this point and relying on surgery to cure you isn't realistic.
