Bindi Irwin opened up about undergoing surgery for endometriosis after experiencing more than 10 years of 'insurmountable' pain.
When undergoing the procedure, doctors found “37 lesions, some very deep & difficult to remove, & a chocolate cyst [ovarian endometrioma],” thealum explained to fans. She added that her physician’s “first words to me when I was in recovery were, ‘How did you live with this much pain?’” — and it was exactly what Irwin needed to hear.
“Validation for years of pain is indescribable. My family & friends who have been on this journey with me for 10+ yrs – THANK YOU, for encouraging me to find answers when I thought I’d never climb out,” she penned. “Thank you to the doctors & nurses who believed my pain. I’m on the road to recovery & the gratitude I feel is overwhelming.”
Irwin concluded her announcement by empathizing with those going through similar health scares — and sharing an important reminder that not everything is what it seems on the outside.“To those questioning the cancelled plans, unanswered messages & absence – I had been pouring every ounce of the energy I had left into our daughter & family,” Irwin wrote. “Things may look fine on the outside looking in through the window of someone’s life, however, that is not always the case.
