Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
For stage four Endometriosis, pain relief without surgery or medications is practically impossible.
That said, you may try a few things.
Hypnotherapy is one.
You may try alternative therapies such as acupressure.
Yoga would help too.
Natural anti inflammatory agents such as green tea, flax seeds would help.
An organic diet would supplement these measures.
The matter of the fact remains that only surgery and medication are likely to make a significant impact on the pain levels.
