After a decade, Bindi Irwin is finally sharing her story with the public. In a March 7 Instagram post, the television personality shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed, alongside a lengthy caption detailing her terrible experience with endometriosis. “For 10yrs I’ve struggled with insurmountable fatigue, pain & nausea,” she started. “These last 10yrs have included many tests, doctors visits, scans.” In her quest to find answers, Irwin recounted being dismissed by doctors who assured her the symptoms were normal for women. Consequently, Irwin gave up on seeking medical help until a friend nudged her in the right direction — surgery. “Every part of my life was getting torn apart because of the pain. To cut a long story short, they found 37 lesions, some very deep & difficult to remove, & a chocolate cyst,” she explained.

Despite the painful ordeal, however, the conservationist is thankful for daughter Grace Warrior, whom she welcomed with her husband Chandler Powell in March 2021. “After all that my body has gone through, I feel tremendously grateful that we have our gorgeous daughter. She feels like our family’s miracle,” she wrote. Since coming out with her story, Bindi has received lots of support from fans and family alike, including her brother Robert, who wrote on Instagram how proud he is of her journey to healing.
