In a candid update shared on her Instagram, comedian Amy Johnson announced that she recently underwent surgery to have her uterus and appendix removed due to endometriosis. Known for her openness about personal health issues, Johnson has always approached sensitive subjects with humor and honesty. Her latest post, featuring a heartfelt message recorded by her partner, revealed the challenges she faced with the disorder.
Endometriosis is a painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often leading to severe discomfort and potential infertility. In her post, Johnson explained, “If you experience extremely painful periods, you might be dealing with #endometriosis.” She shared that during her surgery, doctors discovered and removed 30 spots of endometriosis, along with her appendix, which had also been affected.
From her hospital bed, she provided an update on her recovery, mentioning, “There was a lot of blood in my uterus, and I’m sore and have some gas pains, but I’m already feeling a change in my energy.” The humor in her tone was evident as she laughed, indicating a positive outlook on her recovery process.
Support from friends and fans flooded in following her announcement. “Wow, 30? So glad they are gone and you can be pain-free. Wishing you a smooth recovery, Amy!” commented friend Lisa Thompson. Singer Anna Lee added, “Sorry to hear, but it seems like a new chapter of less pain is ahead, even if it comes with some gassiness!”
Previously, Johnson had decided against having more children after experiencing complications during her pregnancy with her son, Leo. She dealt with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness, which led her to cancel several shows during her pregnancy. She candidly shared her struggles in her docuseries, “Expecting Amy,” shedding light on the realities of pregnancy complications.
As Johnson navigates her recovery, it is hoped that discussions around women’s health continue to grow, with more individuals like her bravely sharing their experiences.
