Endometriosis has been documented in the nose, eyes, brain, skin, inguinal canal, wrists & surgical scars. If disease follows the cycle outside the pelvis, is it truly “pelvic”? Are we looking widely enough to find it? #EndometriosisAwareness #WomensHealth #DrVimeeBindra

Endometriosis isn’t one disease — it’s many forms, many symptoms, many challenges. That’s why diagnosis gets delayed. One-size-fits-all treatments don’t work. specialist-led care is essential. Each patient needs a tailored approach. #drvimeebindra #endometriosis #pcos
