Did you know Halsey has endometriosis?
Speaking about her diagnosis, she took to her official X account and tweeted:
‘When I found out I had that [endometriosis] was the most bittersweet moment because it meant I wasn’t crazy! I wasn’t a ‘baby!’ I had every right to feel like the world was falling apart. But it was terrifying to find out.”
Endometriosis is a gynecological condition in which the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, grows outside the uterus.
This misplaced tissue responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, leading to inflammation and irritation.
“Many people are taught to believe that the pain is normal,” Halsey said at the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s Ninth Annual Blossom Ball, where she received the Blossom Award.
“If you think something is wrong, it probably is. You have to start demanding that someone take you seriously. Your health is all you have, and especially as a young woman with reproductive pain, you have to take care of yourself,” she emphasized.
The singer also said she finds a lot of support from others who experience endometriosis. “You really admire them for how strong they are and everything they have achieved,” the spokesperson said Without me Singer continued.
Halsey herself inspired her fanbase when she tweeted about her experiences with endometriosis in 2016. “Just know that I’m here if you need to vent,” she wrote at the time. “I managed to live a wild, incredible and unpredictable life with Endo, and I’m here for you!”
According to US, the singer also said, “I’ve had the privilege of meeting a lot of young fans along the way. And many of them have told me that without that tweet, they wouldn’t have taken the opportunity to talk to their doctors and physicians and say, ‘Hey, something’s not right.'”
Treatment options for endometriosis include pain medications, hormonal therapy to suppress tissue growth, and in some cases surgical removal of endometrial-like tissue to relieve symptoms and improve fertility.
