AceShowbiz - Savannah Chrisley, 27, has shared her ongoing journey with endometriosis, a condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
Savannah was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 18 and has undergone multiple surgeries to manage the condition. During a consultation for egg freezing, she received an ultrasound that revealed the presence of endometriosis. She expressed her "struggle" with the condition and her concerns about conceiving naturally. The doctor informed her that she could experience difficulty conceiving due to endometriosis, but she also had a positive outlook and chose to focus on the options available to her, such as egg freezing and IVF.
Savannah has always dreamed of having children, but she is taking steps to ensure her health and fertility in the future. She explained that she wanted to freeze her eggs to avoid feeling pressured to have a child immediately due to her age and other future goals.
Recently, Savannah underwent a surgery performed by Dr. Sinervo and Dr. Winer, which involved removing a large cyst and endometriosis from her uterus, ovaries, bladder, and surrounding areas. She also had scar tissue removed and nerves cut to alleviate pain.
After her surgery, Savannah expressed her gratitude for the compassionate care she received from her doctors. She acknowledged the pain and emotional toll of endometriosis but remained hopeful for a full recovery. She emphasized the importance of supporting others who struggle with the condition and sharing their stories.
Savannah has been open about the challenges she has faced due to endometriosis. She described the pain as "unbearable" and admitted to feeling like her body had "given up" on her at times. She also acknowledged the emotional and psychological impact of the condition, which can lead to feelings of isolation and hopelessness.
Savannah has become an advocate for therapy as a tool for managing her mental health and finding balance. She encourages others to seek help and support, emphasizing the strength it takes to prioritize their well-being. She also encourages those with endometriosis to share their stories and inspire one another.
