DRUG

Medical treatment

All women with endometriosis in all groups (A, B, \& C) will receive their medical treatment as prescribed by the gynecologist.

DEVICE

Therapeutic ultrasound (US)

Women will be asked to assume supine lying position, and the lower abdomen will be cleaned thoroughly with alcohol and dried well thereafter. Ultrasound gel will be distributed over the lower abdomen .The device will be adjusted to Frequency of 1MHz, Mode: continuous wave, Intensity: 1.5W/cm, duration of treatment: 15 minutes for the treatment site, then the skin will be cleaned again to remove ultrasound gel.

DEVICE

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)

TENS electrodes will be placed on specific acupuncture points for women in supine position. These points include VB29, ST36, CV6, CV4, LV3, KD3, SP6, and SP9. The treatment aims to improve blood circulation, remove adhesions, regulate menstrual activity and hormones, and prevent new adhesions and menstrual reflux in endometriosis patients.
