Pill info & wellness tips
Patients and doctors increasingly question the pill
The pill is the most widely used form of contraception in France, and is also recommended by gynecological health professionals to relieve the pain of endometriosis and adenomyosis, particularly those designed to stop menstruation.
The pill can help in some cases of endometriosis to prevent/slow down the evolution of lesions, but no scientific study has proven that this is the case for all types of endometriosis.
In some cases, lesions progress despite the pill, and symptoms may continue to be painful, or even be combined with side effects that can be disabling in everyday life (pain, mood swings, depression, fatigue, water retention, loss of libido...).
According to Ifop* research, in 2018, 37% of French women use the pill, compared with 41% in 2013 and 45% in 2010. While the pill was indeed a revolution in terms of sexual emancipation for women at one time, it is increasingly being called into question by women who wish to consume less and less of the hormones that alter the natural functioning of their bodies and can have physical/emotional consequences.
The recommendation of the pill as first-line treatment for menstrual cycle disorders such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS and PMDD is also increasingly being questioned by patients and doctors alike.

What are the alternatives to the pill for endometriosis?
To prevent endometriosis from progressing, the therapeutic target under study today is to reduce the following factors:
1. oxidative stress
2. inflammation
3. hormonal imbalance
4. intestinal dysbiosis
5. immune system dysregulation
--> factors in the development of endometriosis that the pill is not designed to target.
How can they be targeted? Through multidisciplinary therapeutic management using our 3M method:
- Micro-nutrition (able to act on all the mechanisms mentioned above)
- Movement (external and internal to restore mobility to organs and tissues)
- Mindset (stress reduction: highly inflammatory and a cause of hormonal imbalance)
--> to soothe your symptoms and help you reduce the underlying mechanisms that increase/reduce your pain.
