A disease is often more than what we can see. Endometriosis is one such condition. It not only causes excruciating physical pain but also takes a toll on mental well-being, a reality not known by many, as this chronic gynaecological disorder remains unseen and misunderstood.
Endometriosis occurs when some tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb, leading to inflammation, scarring, and debilitating pain, especially during menstruation. It affects 10–15% of all women of reproductive age worldwide. Yet, its impact extends far beyond the realm of physical discomfort, significantly impacting mental health and quality of life.
