What is PMS, PCOS & Endometriosis?
PMS, estimated to affect between 30% and 40% of menstruating women, is a common condition characterized by a range of physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the days leading up to menstruation. However, beyond PMS, some women face more complex gynecological challenges such as PCOS and endometriosis. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that causes irregular periods, cysts on the ovaries, and often leads to difficulties with fertility. On the other hand, endometriosis is a condition where the tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing painful periods and potential fertility issues. These conditions, while distinct, all contribute to significant challenges for women's health and underscore the importance of understanding and addressing menstrual health issues in a holistic manner.
