Krishna Reddy, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Krishna Reddy, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, had been struggling with increasingly heavy and painful periods for three years. As a first-generation immigrant balancing a demanding career and family, she initially dismissed her fatigue and pelvic pressure as stress. However, the bleeding became so severe it caused anemia, leaving her constantly exhausted and unable to keep up with her children. Her gynecologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that multiple large fibroids were distorting her uterus. Given Krishna's completed family and desire for a definitive solution, Dr. Mehta recommended a laparoscopic myomectomy to remove the fibroids while preserving her uterus. Krishna was anxious about surgery and taking time off work, but the minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. Her recovery at home took about two weeks, with her mother's help. Within a month, her energy returned, her periods normalized, and the constant pelvic pressure vanished. Emotionally, she moved from feeling defeated and 'broken' to empowered and relieved, regaining the vitality to fully engage in her family and career.
