Endometriosis affects thousands of Australian women and can have a significant impact on daily life.
Because symptoms vary so much from person to person, many women explore a range of support options.
One question often asked is:
Can a TENS machine help with endometriosis pain?
What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
Symptoms may include:
- Pelvic discomfort
- Painful periods

How Can TENS Support Comfort?
A TENS machine sends gentle electrical pulses through the skin.
Many women use TENS because it may help:

Many women appreciate that TENS is:
- Drug-free
- Portable
- Easy to use

It can be used alongside other strategies recommended by healthcare professionals.
