Prise en charge à l'officine des femmes atteintes d'endométriose par des compléments alimentaires

Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, posing major issues in terms of pain and infertility. Traditional treatments such as hormone therapies and surgery often come with significant side effects. This thesis explores the role of dietary supplements as complementary treatments for endometriosis, focusing on their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-proliferative, and immunomodulatory effects. Vitamins B6, B9, and D, as well as minerals such as magnesium, selenium, and zinc, are discussed for their potential benefits in managing hormonal imbalances and inflammatory responses associated with endometriosis. Polyphenols like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and curcumin are highlighted for their ability to inhibit cellular proliferation and modulate inflammation. The thesis concludes that, while dietary supplements may offer support in managing the symptoms of endometriosis, further clinical research is needed to confirm their efficacy and safety. Integrating these supplements into conventional treatments could improve outcomes for patients by reducing symptoms and decreasing dependence on medications with severe side effects.
