Princess of Australia Bindi Irwin has put out a powerful Instagram post detailing her 10-year struggle with endometriosis.
In honour of International Women’s Day AND Endometriosis Awareness Month (March), Bindi decided to reveal that for the past ten years, she has been fighting an invisible fight and smiling through “insurmountable fatigue, pain and nausea.”
“Trying to remain a positive person and hide the pain has been a very long road,” she wrote.
“A doctor told me it was simply something you deal with as a woman and I gave up entirely, trying to function through the pain.
“Going in for surgery was scary but I knew I couldn’t live like I was.
“Every part of my life was getting torn apart because of the pain.”
