TCM views endometriosis as primarily caused by Blood stasis and Qi stagnation, where blocked circulation allows tissue to grow inappropriately and creates pain and inflammation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), endometriosis is typically linked to Blood stasis, Qi stagnation, and sometimes Cold accumulation in the uterus. These imbalances can be triggered or worsened by emotional stress, exposure to cold during menstruation, or constitutional weakness, leading to pain, blocked circulation, and tissue growth outside the uterus.
