There are many who take severe period pain lightly. At times, some other diseases might be hiding behind such severe period cramps. Now, actress Leona Lishoy has opened up about a similar health issue, she had endured in her life.
Taking to Instagram, the actress revealed about having diagnosed with endometriosis, two years back.
“Two years since I was diagnosed of endometriosis (Stage II). Two years of awful pains, endo bloats and every tiny thing that made a normal life almost impossible. Living with endometriosis has been very challenging and, is an ongoing process. But I believe I’ve come a long way- from feeling absolutely clueless about my physical and mental health, to enduring this dreadful journey of accepting the changes in my body and mind, of course with the help of my family, closest friends and my fav Dr Lakshmi. One of the main symptoms of endometriosis is severe periods pain. I urge the women who are reading this to understand- severe periods pain is NOT okay, it is NOT normal !! Please consult a doctor”, she wrote.
