Padma Lakshmi 38, has started foundation to raise awareness about endometriosis – a condition affecting women's reproductive health – after Padma Lakshmi own experience of having a successful operation and making a full recovery.
"I'm somebody who never knew I had this condition and always thought that everything was okay," Padma Lakshmi. "I found out in a very hard, difficult way – and I had to be operated on. Now, I'm fine but it was a very trying ordeal."
A common condition, endometriosis is a problem that occurs when tissues that line the uterus grow outside the uterus, resulting in painful menstrual cycles and uterine scarring that could lead to infertility. With surgery, endometriosis can be treated easily – but it must be detected first.
