Women with endometriosis can successfully navigate their symptoms while advancing in their careers. In a chat with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Parnamita Bhattacharya, a gynecologist at CMRI Kolkata, offered four transformative tips to help you excel in your career while managing endo pain.

1. Take control of your pain effectively with the right medications

Pelvic pain, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and lower abdominal discomfort linked to endometriosis can really disrupt your daily life and work. It's a good idea to use painkillers during these times for relief. Often, hormonal treatments like birth control pills or newer hormonal options are recommended to help manage and reduce pain, even when it happens outside of your period. It’s worth chatting with your doctor to find out what might work best for you.

2. Organize your tasks according to your cycle

Keep track of the days when your menstrual cramps tend to be the worst on your cycle calendar. This way, you can schedule your more demanding tasks for other days. You might also consider planning for a lighter workload or even working from home on those uncomfortable days. It could be helpful to have a private chat with your manager or coworkers to set expectations and adjust the workload in a way that accommodates your health needs.

3. Make sure to set aside time for self-care and to make some lifestyle adjustments

Maintaining a nutritious diet, staying active, and managing stress can significantly help reduce those symptoms. Doing some simple stretches can ease pelvic discomfort and promote hormonal balance while eating plenty of healthy foods can lower inflammation in the body. Additionally, practicing meditation and relaxation techniques can enhance your overall well-being.

4. Get a medical consultation to manage symptoms over the long haul

It's a good idea to talk to a professional about personalized treatment for endometriosis, especially if your symptoms are affecting your daily activities and productivity. In cases of chocolate cysts or ongoing pain, advanced hormonal treatments or surgery might be recommended. Getting medical advice early can help manage your symptoms and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
