Apr 15, 2025
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], April 15: In India, menstrual pain is often dismissed as a normal part of menstruation, leading many to suffer in silence for years. For many, this pain is more than just discomfort - it can be a serious medical condition called Endometriosis. Affecting nearly 10% of women of reproductive age, endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to chronic pain, fertility challenges, heavy periods, and other complications. Despite the widespread prevalence, there is very little awareness about the disease, with an average of 7-10 years of delay of diagnosis before proper medical attention.
