Actor Shamita Shetty has shared her experience of living with endometriosis, revealing that years of severe pain and delayed diagnosis left her struggling emotionally. Speaking on a recent podcast, she said the condition caused constant pain that was initially dismissed as normal menstrual discomfort, leading to depression before she finally received the correct diagnosis.
