She went on to list the health problems she had been experiencing, writing, “Fatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow, sleepless nights on the bathroom floor.”
Palvin was advised to “seek out an endometriosis specialist” and discovered she has endometriosis.

The best course of action for Palvin was surgery. “So I went, and 3 months later I got operated on. Since then I finally experienced a period that was easier, and now I know the difference,” she shared.
Palvin continued, “If you suspect that you could have endometriosis I encourage you to find it out. It helped me a lot, and I’m grateful I did it. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent long-term complications, and now I’m more mindful about my body to act fast if needed.”
She ended her message with hope, revealing that she took three months to heal and was looking forward to getting back to work.
