Bindi Irwin says she had surgery after suffering from discomfort for a decade

Bindi Irwin has made a name for herself as a well-known person over the years. The famed Steve Irwin’s daughter had big shoes to fill in the animal arena when her father died, but she did it.

Actually, she and her brother, Robert, have developed into adults that their late father would have been proud of. Not only are they both working hard to advance his legacy, but they’re also nice individuals.

I’m not sure about you, but I was a tremendous admirer of Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter. He was a pioneer in my eyes, and the great conservation job he achieved will not be forgotten. When Steve died, he left behind his wife, Terri, and his two children, Bindi and Robert, who were just eight and two years old at the time.

While obviously grieving the loss of their wonderful father, the family has made every effort to memorialize him along the way. They still own and run Australia Zoo in Queensland, Australia, and both Bindi and Robert are active in raising awareness about the suffering of animals around the world.

In today’s social media world, it’s easy to keep up with what the Irwins are up to, but although it may appear to be all sunshine and flowers — Bindi now has her own kid, for example — there appears to have been some unhappiness behind the scenes for quite some time.

According to sources, Bindi, 24, has been dealing with medical challenges for at least a decade.

The naturalist and TV personality shared on Instagram that she had undergone endometriosis surgery. She went on to say that she’d been in agony for a long time, but that prior doctors had rejected her concerns.

“Dear Friends,” wrote Bindi. I debated for a long time whether I should share this trip with you in such a public setting. It all came down to the duty I feel to share my experience in order to aid other women in need.

“For 10 years I’ve suffered with overwhelming weariness, agony, and nausea. Attempting to be cheerful and mask the sorrow has been a difficult journey. Several tests, medical visits, scans, and other procedures have taken place during the previous ten years.

“A doctor told me it was simply something you cope with as a woman, and I gave up fully, attempting to function despite the agony. I didn’t find answers until a buddy, @lesliemosier, helped me get back on track.”

Bindi ultimately chose surgery to relieve her discomfort and get to the bottom of the matter once and for all.

“It was terrifying going in for surgery, but I knew I couldn’t live like this,” she continued.

“The misery was tearing every aspect of my existence apart. To cut a long story short, they found 37 lesions, some very deep and difficult to remove, and a chocolate cyst. @seckinmd’s first words to me when I was in recovery were, ‘How did you live with this much pain?’ The relief from years of agony is unimaginable. Thank you to my family and friends who have been on this path with me for 10+ years for supporting me to discover answers when I thought I’d never be able to climb out. Thank you to the physicians and nurses who took my discomfort seriously. I’m on the mend, and the thankfulness I feel is incredible. To individuals who were perplexed by the canceled plans, ignored messages, and absence: “I had been putting every ounce of energy I had left into our baby and family.”

We can only hope that Bindi’s path to recovery is short and that she can continue her amazing job without suffering in the future.
