Endo Belly, Inflammation and the Lymphatic System

Many women with endometriosis experience abdominal swelling often called “endo belly.”

This can occur when inflammation, digestive disruption and fluid retention affect the pelvic and abdominal tissues.

The lymphatic system helps remove:

• inflammatory waste
• excess tissue fluid
• immune by-products

Supporting lymphatic circulation through therapies such as lymphatic drainage massage may help reduce swelling and improve comfort in some women.
