Frequently asked questions

I don’t want to take drugs/have surgery.  What else can I do?

The decision as to whether or not to take drugs or have surgery ultimately lies with the patient and only they can make that decision. The alternatives are trying to control symptoms with complementary therapies, nutrition or self management. 

Many women have found their symptoms have improved with complementary therapies such as acupuncture, homeopathy, reflexology and osteopathy. It is wise to seek help from a qualified practitioner. A change of diet has also been found to have positive benefits including cutting out or reducing the amount of red meat, wheat and dairy products. Please see our publications section for details of further information.
