Australian conservationist and TV personality, Bindi Irwin, has cited that she is “genuinely healing” after years of torment from endometriosis, and called for greater understanding of the condition. The daughter of the late Steve Irwin, who first revealed her decade-long struggle with the disease in 2023, said in an update, she was “slowly gaining my strength back” and “beginning to recognise myself again”.
Irwin’s story has reignited conversations worldwide about the condition which can cause severe pain and infertility, affecting about one in ten women.
Endometriosis is a condition caused when tissue similar to the womb’s lining grows in other parts of the body such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. There is currently no known cure, nor cause, of the condition.
