Bindi Irwin has been in the public eye since she was a child appearing on her dad's TV shows, but most of her fans were unaware of the health struggle she's been enduring for the past decade. The animal conservationist and TV personality recently opened up about her battle with endometriosis, a common yet painful condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside your uterus.
In a heartfelt post, Bindi revealed that she has been struggling with "insurmountable fatigue, pain & nausea" for 10 years and finally received a diagnosis of endometriosis. The 24-year-old recently decided to undergo surgery. In sharing her story with her 5 million Instagram followers, she encouraged people to be "gentle" with each other. She said, "Things may look fine on the outside looking in through the window of someone’s life, however, that is not always the case. Please be gentle & pause before asking me (or any woman) when we’ll be having more children."
