Bindi irwin Provides an update of their health after over ten years of “being really, really sick” before she was diagnosed with endometriosis.

While he spoke on Monday February 3rd section of A life of greatness Podcast with host Sarah Grynberg, TV personality, 26, reminded to deal with hidden health problems for over a decade.

“The only people who knew I was extremely unhealthy … My husband, my mother and my brother, and behind closed doors I struggled to do everything and everything,” Bindi said, referring to his mother Terri Irwin60, her brother Robert Irwin21 and her husband Chandler Powell28, with which she shares her Daughter Grace, 3.

“It resulted in many interrupted plans, people must have thought that I was just extremely flaky because I got so sick of this disease that I would try to get up and I would just throw up, I had so much pain all time.

She said that endometriosis “is a huge problem for so many people and that there is no much talk”, and adds on the podcast, “I went for 10 years undiagnosed because doctors really did not know enough, they diagnosed me with a million other things, Like IBS, or hormones or “It’s just part of being a woman.”

According to The World Health Organization (WHO), endometriosis “is a disease in which tissue similar to the uterine feed grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis.”

Before her diagnosis, Bindi insisted that she “had every scan you could imagine” – CT scan, MRI scan, ultrasound, blood samples and “Tested for every tropical disease” – and was told “There’s nothing wrong with you” Doctors despite “becoming more and more unhealthy.”

Eventually, the conservationist had a friend whose symptoms matched her journey, and she ended up “a lovely surgeon in the United States” who operated on her and “found over 30 lesions”, she told the podcast.

“Basically, it attacks anywhere and everywhere … It affects everyone differently. It can affect women in many different ways from fertility problems to extreme pain and fatigue, severe bleeding,” shared bindi. “For me, if I had not become surgery, the next five years of my life would have been very marked or a break because I had real problems internally.”

“I had a huge chocolate cyst that had followed my ovary to my side so I was just annoying pain and it just doesn’t show up on scans for some reason,” she said, leaving that when her daughter was born, she realized she realized she had to do something.

Bindi said to the podcast, “I am so grateful to be on the other side of the operation. There is no cure for endometriosis but if you can get surgery you have a better shot on life. Maybe in five out of ten years, I, I must Get a new operation but at the moment it is all away, which I am very grateful for.

“I was so scared to share my story, I had never talked about being unhealthy, because I thought it was all in my head. After a dozen doctors say you are crazy, you start believing in them,” she admitted.

Bindi gave a new cry to his family and said they “handled it for 10-plus years as much as I did, tried to find answers and help me along the way and say,” Hi, you are collapsed on the floor. You should probably get some help and you should not listen to the doctors who say this is normal. ”

“You turn to the medical industry and are looking for help and it can cause anxiety and depression … This disease and other women’s health problems can be extremely isolation for humans,” she shared and claimed that her surgeon’s words really helped after surgery.

“My surgeon after I had surgery he said: ‘How did you live and worked in so much pain?’ And these words wiped me out just because someone finally validated 10-plus years of feeling so horrible in a sentence.
