For millions of women and girls around the world, severe menstrual pain, chronic pelvic discomfort and heavy periods are an all-too-familiar part of life. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), endometriosis affects an estimated 10 per cent of women and girls of reproductive age globally, about 190 million people. Dr Charles Muteshi, a consultant obstetrician-gynaecologist and fertility specialist at Aga Khan University Hospital, describes endometriosis as a condition where tissue like the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb. The misplaced tissue commonly affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and bowel. In response to monthly hormonal changes, these tissues bleed and become inflamed, triggering pain and scar formation.
