Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) and Endometriosis

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a long-term condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can affect daily comfort, routine, and overall wellbeing, and is commonly managed through medical care, pain management strategies, hormonal treatment, surgery, and lifestyle support.

Alongside conventional medical care, some individuals explore non-medical wellbeing approaches as part of their broader self-care routines.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing high-concentration oxygen inside a pressurised chamber. Under increased atmospheric pressure, oxygen dissolves more readily into the bloodstream and body fluids, increasing overall oxygen availability throughout the body.

At OxyHealthCare®, HBOT is provided solely as a non-medical wellbeing service. It is not offered as a medical treatment for endometriosis and does not replace medical or gynaecological care.

Why Some People Explore HBOT in the Context of Endometriosis

Scientific research continues to explore how oxygen availability interacts with inflammation, circulation, and tissue environments in a variety of health contexts.

Some individuals choose to explore HBOT as part of their personal wellbeing routines because:

  • Oxygen plays a role in normal cellular metabolism
  • Pressurised oxygen increases systemic oxygen availability
  • Sessions are non-invasive and passive
  • HBOT can be explored alongside existing medical care

Important:
HBOT at OxyHealthCare® does not diagnose, treat, cure, or manage endometriosis, pain, inflammation, or fertility and should not be viewed as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. Individual experiences vary.
