After being diagnosed with the disease in 2023, following 10 years of chronic pain, Bindi Irwin shared with her followers that she is “healing” for the first time.
“51 endometriosis lesions, one cyst, and my appendix were all removed in two surgeries at the Seckin Endometriosis Center. My hernia, which developed after childbirth and was beginning to open, was treated,” she celebrated.
Irwin underwent surgery in May, which caused her to miss a tribute to her father Steve, who died in 2006 after being pierced by a stingray.
“I can now live my daily life without wanting to vomit or faint from pain. Little by little, I’m regaining my strength,” she continued in her Instagram post shared on Wednesday (13).
“As a teenager and young adult, I felt completely ashamed after being told my pain was just a part of being a woman,” Bindi detailed.
“Girls and women should not feel alone with pain controlling their lives. We need to break the stigma around talking about women’s health,” she concluded.
Bindi Irwin told the Courier Mail that she is grateful for opening up publicly to talk about her health. Her story quickly resonated with hundreds of thousands of Australian women who were suffering in silence.
“It’s scary when you talk about the most vulnerable and painful moments of your life, when you talk about feeling like you were in a deep hole and didn’t know if you could get out,” she told the newspaper.
