The conservation and personality of Australian television Bindi Irwin said that it “really heals” after suffering from years of endometriosis pain and called for a better understanding of the condition.
Irwin, who revealed her fight for the first time for a decade with the disease in 2023, said in an update, she “slowly won my strength” and “started to recognize me”.
After feeling “completely shame” when he was told that her pain was “partly to be a woman”, the 27 -year -old woman said that society had to eliminate stigma around women’s health.
Irwin’s story has rekindled conversations around the world on the condition that can cause intense pain and infertility, affecting about one in ten women.
“Young girls and women should not feel alone with pain in the driver’s seat of their life,” she wrote in an Instagram post to her 5.7 million followers.
“We have to remove the stigma of talking about women’s health. It’s time to have open discussions and make changes worldwide.”
The original Irwin Instagram post in 2023 on its difficulties with endometriosis obtained more than 1.1 million likes, its last update attracting around 260,000 likes.
Endometriosis is caused when tissues similar to the uterus mucosa develop in other parts of the body such as ovaries and fallopian tubes.
It can cause extreme pain during periods, sex and stools, as well as pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea and fatigue.
There is currently no known reason or healing for the condition.
Irwin wrote that after “13 years of struggle for answers” and two surgeries where she had 51 lesions, a cyst and her annex deleted, she was finally on healing.
“I can work in everyday life without wanting to vomit or vanish in pain,” she wrote.
“I felt completely ashamed in adolescence and a young adult that I was told that my pain was just part of being a woman. I felt less. I felt injured. I felt weak. It’s not ok.”
Irwin is the daughter of Steve Irwin, an ecologist and host of Australian television documentary who was best known as “Crocodile Hunter” before his death in 2006.
Since then, she has dug her own path as a self-written wild warrior and directs the Australia’s zoo with her mother Terra and her brother Robert.
She is married to Chandler Powell and gave birth to their daughter, Grace Warrior in 2021.
Steve Irwin died at the age of 44 after being stung by a Stingray while he was running on the large co -ray barrier off the Côtes du Queensland.
