Amy Schumer has revealed she underwent surgery for endometriosis, updating fans from the hospital.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
It’s a long-term condition that can have a significant impact on your life, but there are treatments that can help.
Opening up in a video from her hospital bed, Amy, 40, said: ‘It’s the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out.
‘The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis and he removed my apprendix because the endometriosis had attacked it. There was a lot of blood in my uterus and I’m sore and I have some gas pains but, other than that, I already feel that my energy…’
The star added in her caption: ‘If you have really painful periods you may have #endometriosis.’

Actress Debra Messing added: ‘Oh my goodness, 30?! So happy they are gone and you won’t have that pain anymore. Heal well Am!❤️’.
