Kelly,

 

Try esaurus.org. It's an online English-Chinese medical dictionary, mostly

Western terms. It's limited, I've found, but you can submit requests. If

anyone knows of more complete online sources, I would love to hear about

them.

 

In Chinese medicine, endometriosis would fall under abdominal masses or

painful periods probably, and would not be recognized necessarily as

" endometriosis. "

 

Lemme know what you find!

 

Take care,

Sonya

Kelly,

 

Endometriosis is a common subject for research reports in Chinese

medical journals. Although some Chinese doctors equate this condition

with concretions and conglomerations in their concluding didcussions,

it is always referred to in the contemporary medical literature by the

Chinese translation of endometriosis. There is a pretty huge body of

literature in Chinese on this condition. As a guess, I would say most

of the 20 plus CM provincial journals publish an article on this

condition in 2/3 of their issues at least, maybe 3/4. It's Chinese

name is: zi2 gong1 (metro) nei2 (endo) mo2 (membrane) yi4 (wrong) wei4

(place): zi gong nei mo yi wei. If you send me a fax number, I can

write out the characters and fax them to you.

 

The best published hardcopy source of Chinese names for Western

diseases is English-Chinese Medical Dictionary. It is a huge

hardbacked dictionary commonly available at large Chinese book stores

in NY, SF, LA, Vancouver, and Toronto. (These are the places I know I

have seen it for sale.) It costs around $115 US. It is a companion

volume to Chinese-English Medical Dictionary, same size, same price,

same N. American outlets.
