Olivia Iyer, a 28-year-old primary school...
Olivia Iyer, a 28-year-old primary school teacher, had endured increasingly debilitating period pain and heavy bleeding for two years, often missing work. She also experienced pain during intercourse and chronic fatigue. An ultrasound confirmed a 7cm endometrioma on her left ovary. Her gynaecologist, Dr. Rao, explained that the cyst was likely due to endometriosis and recommended laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy to relieve her symptoms and prevent potential damage to her ovary. Olivia was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure went smoothly, and surgeons also found and treated additional endometrial implants. Her recovery involved rest and gradual return to activity over three weeks. Post-procedure, Olivia's menstrual pain reduced dramatically, and her energy levels improved. Emotionally, she journeyed from frustration and despair over her declining quality of life to profound relief and empowerment, finally feeling in control of her body again.
