Pain during periods is often normalised and dismissed as something every woman has to go through. But when the pain becomes intense, persistent, or begins affecting daily life, it may not be something to ignore. Endometriosis is one such condition that often goes undiagnosed for years.
This condition can cause severe pelvic pain, fatigue, and even fertility challenges if not addressed early. The difficulty lies in recognising that the pain is not normal. Dr. Vinisha Abhale, Obs and Gynaecologist, approaches endometriosis with a combination of medical management, lifestyle adjustments, and, when needed, advanced procedures.
Women dealing with this often adapt silently, adjusting routines around discomfort rather than seeking help. But timely care can significantly improve quality of life and long-term health outcomes.
If your monthly cycle brings more disruption than it should, it might be worth understanding whether there’s an underlying cause that needs attention.
