Bindi Irwin has undergone major surgery for endometriosis.
The daughter of the late Steve ‘the Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin spoke for the first time about her decade-long struggle with the disease in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday morning.
The 24-year-old conservationist, who shares daughter Grace Warrior, one, with her husband Chandler Powell, also posted a confronting photo of herself in a hospital bed after the surgery.
The Crikey! It’s the Irwins star said she’d spent 10 years ‘torn apart [by] the pain’ and knew she had to have surgery because she ‘couldn’t live like I was’.
She also explained how the surgeon had discovered and removed a total of 37 lesions and a ‘chocolate cyst’ – a term for a cyst filled with menstrual blood.
More to come.
