Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I currently am treating a patient with suspected endometriosis in the colon. Pre-menstrually she has alot of stool irregularities. I was wondering if anyone has any herbal experience with this or has any ideas outside of whats in the books.(basically transform phlegm dissolve nodules and move blood. I am looking for specific herbs and strategies people have found useful. Thanks. Rich Blitstein Intern PCOM-Chicago Quote
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I've had premenstrual syndrome result in diarrhea too (among my patients, that is). I'd look at it first as a Liver/Spleen disharmony. Does that fit into what you see in the patient (minus the endometriosis assumption)? -al.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 No, she has blood in the stool, thin stools, thick stools, occasional diarrhea, just all over the place. The MD suspects endo in the bowel and she will have a colonoscopy to confirm. , Al Stone <alstone@b...> wrote: > I've had premenstrual syndrome result in diarrhea too (among my > patients, that is). > > I'd look at it first as a Liver/Spleen disharmony.
