You’re dealing with more than just “period pain”
It’s not just discomfort.
It’s the kind of pain that stops you mid-step. The kind that builds, lingers, and comes back again.
It affects your sleep. Your energy. Your focus. Your mood.
And over time, it can start to feel like your life is being planned around it.
If you’re living with endometriosis, you’ll know how difficult it can be to find something that actually helps consistently.
When standard treatments haven’t been enough
Many patients with endometriosis have already tried multiple approaches.
- Pain relief medications
- Hormonal treatments
- Lifestyle changes
Sometimes these help. Sometimes they don’t.
And sometimes the side effects create a different set of problems.
This is often when people begin looking for alternative options to help manage symptoms such as chronic pain, disrupted sleep, and the emotional impact that comes with it.
Where medical cannabis may be discussed
Medical cannabis is a prescription-only treatment in the UK and may be considered by specialist clinicians in certain cases.
It is not used to treat endometriosis itself.
However, it may be discussed as part of a broader approach to managing symptoms such as:
- Persistent or chronic pelvic pain
- Sleep disturbance
- Anxiety related to ongoing symptoms
Suitability is always assessed individually by a specialist clinician based on your medical history and previous treatments.
Access through Holistic Health Hub
Through Holden’s Chemist and Sherwood Avenue Pharmacy, patients can access this pathway via the Holistic Health Hub service.
Holistic Health Hub manages the initial eligibility check and referral process.
If appropriate, you may be referred to a specialist clinic such as Curaleaf, where all consultations and prescribing decisions are carried out by qualified clinicians.
Any treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs, with ongoing monitoring and support.
What patients are often looking for
Most people aren’t searching for something new for the sake of it.
They’re trying to get back to something that feels manageable again.
- Sleeping through the night without being woken by pain
- Getting through the day without constant discomfort
- Feeling less drained, physically and mentally
- Having more consistency instead of unpredictable flare-ups
For some patients, exploring a different clinical pathway may be a step worth taking.
How the process works
- Complete a short eligibility check through Holistic Health Hub
- Your information is reviewed by pharmacy professionals
- If appropriate, you are referred to a specialist clinic
- A specialist doctor assesses your suitability
- Treatment options are discussed based on clinical judgement
No treatment is provided without appropriate assessment.
Before you go further
If you’ve been managing symptoms for months or years without the level of relief you need, it can start to feel like you’ve run out of options.
The next step isn’t committing to treatment.
It’s simply finding out whether this may be an appropriate option for you.
