Endometriosis

Conventional pain-relieving options, such as opioids, have been proven to be somewhat ineffective in managing pain from endometriosis, and women suffering from the debilitating condition are up to four times as likely to fall into the trap of opioid addiction. This is where medical cannabis may be able to play a crucial role. Studies have shown that medical cannabis can help to alleviate painful symptoms of endometriosis, as well as help to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.

Endometriosis is a painful disorder that can range in symptoms and severity. Roughly 10% of women struggle with endometriosis. Common symptoms include pain, fatigue, and inflammation, and symptoms can vary from mild to severe.
