Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic hormonally dependent gynecological disease affecting nearly 1 in 10 women. However, until recently, it remained relatively unknown to the general public and healthcare professionals, with an average medical odyssey of 7 years to establish a diagnosis. It is a condition that can be truly debilitating, causing intolerable pain that greatly diminishes quality of life and also leads to infertility problems. Nevertheless, the situation has been evolving in recent years to the extent that a national strategy to combat endometriosis was deployed by the head of state in early 2022, making it a public health issue. The primary objective of this work is to provide a practical synthesis of the pathophysiology of endometriosis and the available allopathic treatments. The secondary objective is to present alternative and complementary medicines that can be offered by community pharmacists to patients with endometriosis. Given their knowledge in nutrition, micronutrition, phytotherapy, aromatherapy, and homeopathy, community pharmacists have a major role to play in the comprehensive care of these women by assisting them daily in managing the various symptoms of the disease and thus contributing to improving their quality of life. The absence of specific treatment, the still unknown etiology, and the fact that there isn’t just one type of endometriosis require personalized and multidisciplinary management for the patient.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.
Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive.
Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate.
Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
