Actress and influencer Olivia Culpo has been managing endometriosis without surgery. Here's how she manages it, and why she urges everyone to take painful periods seriously.
As Culpo mentioned, one treatment option is minimally invasive surgery to remove the tissue. But surgery can be a big commitment, and unfortunately the results aren’t necessarily permanent because the tissue can grow back. Other options include the aforementioned hormone therapy and, including over-the-counter pain medications, heating pads, and warm baths to ease some of the pain.
Sometimes, what is often dismissed by people–or their doctors—as normal period symptoms may actually be a sign of something serious with potentially lifelong effects. But even if you feel like you can push through on your own, you deserve to have an expert’s guidance in finding the right treatment for you. “Definitely go to your doctor if you have painful periods; painful periods are not normal, and you just want to make sure everything is okay if you did want to get pregnant,” Culpo cautioned.
