Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside it, leading to various symptoms. Dr. Sonal Palod, a gynecologist at Sarvottam Hospital in Indore, identifies five key symptoms to watch for: 1. **Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea):** Intense menstrual cramps that may worsen over time, often accompanied by lower back and abdominal pain. 2. **Chronic Pelvic Pain:** Persistent discomfort in the pelvic region, not limited to menstrual periods, which can affect daily activities. 3. **Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia):** Experiencing pain during or after sexual activity, which may impact intimate relationships. 4. **Ovarian Cysts (Endometriomas):** Fluid-filled cysts in the ovaries, sometimes referred to as "chocolate cysts, " that can cause pain and complicate fertility. 5. **Infertility:** Difficulty conceiving, as endometriosis can lead to adhesions and scarring that affect reproductive organs. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
