The testimony of Carmen Álvarez, gynecologist at Hospital 12 de Octubre specialized in caring for women with endometriosis, highlights the importance of broadening the clinical view in complex and long-evolution pathologies, incorporating complementary approaches that contribute to improving patients’ quality of life.
In her intervention, she highlights the interest aroused by understanding to what extent much of the symptomatology presented by these women may be related to the autonomic nervous system. From this perspective, she emphasizes the attractiveness of a non-invasive therapy such as NESA technology, due to its potential to help address not only pain, but also other frequent manifestations associated with endometriosis, such as fibromyalgia, migraines or other conditions that globally affect the patient’s well-being.
Carmen Álvarez also advocates for an open and multidisciplinary view of medicine, especially in the treatment of diseases such as endometriosis, where it is often necessary to go beyond the pharmacological or surgical approach. In her opinion, incorporating adjuvant therapies that can be safely and usefully integrated into the care process represents a real opportunity to offer more complete and personalized care.
From her experience in public health, she considers it essential to make this type of tool known and favor greater dissemination of its therapeutic potential. Her message is clear: advancing in medicine also implies listening, exploring new ways and always putting at the center what can benefit the patient.
