Rise in endometriosis among women: Doctors emphasis early intervention, awareness

There is a 10 per cent rise in endometriosis cases among women, with one in 10 women getting diagnosed with the condition per month, said Dr Swetha Lalgudi, gynaecologist at Zynova Shalby Hospital. "The symptoms shouldn't be ignored. Doctors must be consulted immediately for an accurate diagnosis for early treatment. Endometriosis hurts a woman's fertility by damaging reproductive organs. These changes can interfere with egg release, fertilization, or implantation in the uterus," she explained.
