Bindi Irwin undergoes endometriosis surgery after years of ‘insurmountable pain’

ok.co.uk:

Bindi Irwin has shared her experience of suffering endometriosis for the past decade to help tackle the stigma around the condition.

The TV star, 24, the daughter of late wildlife expert Steve Irwin, said she has undergone surgery, which found 37 lesions and a cyst, after suffering from “insurmountable fatigue, pain and nausea” for 10 years.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, according to the NHS website.

Posting a photo of herself in a hospital bed, she said she was not sure if she wanted to discuss her health publicly, but ultimately felt a responsibility to share her story for other women who needed help.
