Endometriosis
What Is It?
If your period feels like a horror movie with monthly plot twists, you might be dealing with Endometriosis — a painful condition where the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
It affects 1 in 10 women, but often takes 7–10 years to be diagnosed. The pain? Real. The delay? Infuriating. It’s not “just a heavy period.” It’s your body yelling for help.
Many women with endo suffer in silence, missing work, intimacy, and even social life — and being told to “just pop a painkiller and push through.” Not anymore.
Why It Happens?
- Retrograde menstruation (flow goes backward)
- Immune dysfunction
- High oestrogen levels
- Genetics and inflammatory response
Common Symptoms:
- Debilitating period cramps
- Pain during sex or urination
- Heavy bleeding
- Chronic fatigue
- Digestive distress or bloating
- Infertility or trouble conceiving
Symptoms May Overlap With:
- PCOS
- IBS
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
- Adenomyosis
Latest Research & Trends
Recent findings connect gut health, inflammation, and oestrogen dominance to endometriosis flares. More women are seeking natural pain relief options like anti-inflammatory diets, acupuncture, hormone detox, and low-tox living.
Doctors are also realising that early lifestyle intervention can dramatically reduce symptoms and slow progression. Cycle tracking and functional diagnostics are leading the way.
Future Outlook
Endometriosis is finally getting the global spotlight it deserves. Better diagnostic tools, early intervention, and increased awareness mean future generations may not have to suffer in silence. Holistic therapies will likely become frontline care, not an afterthought.
