Two recent studies highlight the potential benefits of cannabis and CBD in managing symptoms for patients with endometriosis and daytime fatigue. One study found that cannabis was effective in reducing pain and improving sleep quality for endometriosis patients, while another study showed that CBD reduced daytime fatigue and improved psychological well-being.
New research suggests a significant link between endometriosis and ovarian cancer risk, particularly for women with severe endometriosis. However, experts emphasize that the overall risk remains relatively low and women shouldn’t be unduly concerned. The study, published in JAMA, analyzed data from nearly 78,900 women and found a 4.2-times-higher lifetime risk of ovarian cancer for women with any type of endometriosis. Despite this increase, the risk for women with endometriosis remains lower than the general population’s risk for other cancers like breast, lung, or bowel cancer.
