Using her case as an example, she revealed that every time she started menstruating her gums and teeth would bleed.

'Endometriosis is a full-body disease and should be treated with a multi-disciplinary approach.

Ever since I started menstruating, I've had countless problems with my teeth and gums. My teeth and gums would bleed heavily everytime I brushed them during my period. In my teenage years, I had part of my gum cut out and 4 teeth removed. I later wore braces for 5 years. During my treatment in the US, my teeth and gums were at it again. I saw an orthodontist surgeon who told me I had very high levels of oestrogen in my gums. They removed 4 other teeth and cut my gum again. He also found out that the oestrogen was damaging my teeth. I have 8 cavities due to this. So in the coming weeks I will be going to visit my dentists to fill these cavities and any other recommended procedure. Look out for these signs and seek medical attention. Do not ignore. Endometriosis is a full-body disease,' she wrote.
