Shamita Shetty's Endometriosis Journey and Weight Changes

Shamita Shetty's Endometriosis Journey and Weight Changes

Shamita Shetty, a 47-year-old actor, recently underwent surgery for endometriosis in May 2024.

She experienced severe pain and gained 4-5 kilos before the surgery due to water retention and other symptoms.

Her doctor, Dr. Neeta Warty, treated her for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Dr. Dimple Jain, a specialist, explained that endometriosis can cause bloating and water retention, making it seem like there is weight gain.

Surgery can affect weight temporarily, but long-term weight changes depend on various factors like hormonal balance and lifestyle.

Shamita took a couple of years to lose the weight she gained.

Dr. Jain advises that weight recovery should be approached with patience and sustainable changes.
