In a 'Today' interview, Bindi Irwin opened up about her painful endometriosis symptoms that were initially dismissed by doctors.
In a Today interview published Wednesday, Bindi Irwin, the 25-year-old conservationist and daughter of legendary Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin, shared her experience with endometriosis, a condition that typically causes heavy bleeding and severe pain during periods and sex.
For Irwin, something clicked when she saw a friend’s social media post about endometriosis—a condition that Irwin, at the time, had never even heard of. Seeing someone else go through a similar experience, she said, prompted her to talk to another surgeon. And after her suspicions were officially confirmed, she had surgery to remove more than 30 lesions, as well as an endometrioma . “It was one of the most validating experiences of my life,” Irwin said of the surgery.
