Shamita Shetty Discusses Endometriosis and Weight Changes; Rising PMOS Prevalence in India
Shamita Shetty shared her experience with endometriosis, including severe pain, cysts, and a 4-5 kg weight gain before her surgery in May 2024, attributing some symptoms to perimenopause and water retention. Experts note that while endometriosis may cause bloating, it is not a direct cause of significant weight gain. Separately, PMOS (formerly PCOS) affects one in five Indian women, with rising prevalence linked to metabolic factors, lifestyle changes, and high rates of insulin resistance in India, impacting various health aspects beyond reproductive issues.
