There are increasing CAM therapies for secondary dysmenorrhea caused by EM, including herbs, acupuncture, and CHM enema. CAM therapies have been widely utilized because their curative effect is well accepted. These therapies can relieve pain, reduce the recurrence rate, and improve quality of life; however, they cannot fully eradicate the endometriotic lesions. In summary, the active principle of CAM therapies has a strong scientific foundation, and researchers have shown increased interest in this area of medical treatment.

In a randomized controlled trial with 40 patients, EA was delivered at bilateral neiguan (PC6) and zusanli (ST36) points within 24 hours prior to surgery. The EA group exhibited a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the first six hours compared to the usual care (UC) group. Postoperative pain was significantly lower in the EA group at six hours postoperative, and the EA group had a shorter time to pass the first flatus compared to the UC group. Adverse effects of EA were minor and well-tolerated. The study suggests that one-session preoperative EA is feasible, safe, and may reduce postoperative pain and accelerate gastrointestinal motility.

Review Article Adenomyosis EGCG Endometriosis
The paper reviews the role of the compound Epigallocatechin-3-gallate found in green tea, and its effects on various benign gynecological conditions. The compound is noted for its antioxidant and prooxidant qualities, allowing it to interact with multiple cellular pathways that are crucial for disease pathogenesis. The studied conditions include uterine fibroids, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, adenomyosis, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The research accounts for the specific mechanisms through which the compound might affect each condition, such as anti-fibrotic, anti-angiogenic, and pro-apoptotic mechanisms.
The results suggest that green tea consumption can lead to improved symptom management in these disorders. It was found to lessen the intensity of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis, by invoking anti-fibrotic, anti-angiogenic, and pro-apoptotic mechanisms. It also helped manage pain linked with dysmenorrhea and adenomyosis through reducing uterine contractility and widely felt pain. Additionally, it showed efficacy in weight and osteoporosis control during menopause, and showed potential benefits in managing polycystic ovary syndrome. However, claims regarding its influence on fertility were deemed controversial.

Systematic Review Pregnancy
This comprehensive review evaluates acupuncture's efficacy and safety in treating gynecologic and obstetric disorders. Examining systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials, the study addresses conditions like pregnancy-related pelvic and low-back pain, labor pain, primary dysmenorrhea, and menopausal symptoms. The results are inconclusive, with some evidence supporting acupuncture's potential in reducing pelvic and back pain during pregnancy and alleviating climacteric vasomotor symptoms. However, more rigorous research is necessary for definitive conclusions. Adverse effects were minimal. The review emphasizes the need for well-designed studies to enhance the precision and reliability of findings regarding acupuncture's therapeutic benefits in these disorders.
