Hailey Bieber Revealed That She Has An Ovarian Cyst The Size Of An Apple
2022-11-30
Hailey Bieber is giving an update on her health.
In a recent update to her Instagram story , Hailey revealed that she's currently suffering from symptoms related to an ovarian cyst.
"I have a cyst on my ovary the size of an apple," Hailey shared, along with a photo of her holding up her sweater to show the cyst in question.
Hailey noted that she doesn't suffer from endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but that this wasn't her first experience having an ovarian cyst — "and it's never fun," she added.
The Mayo Clinic describes PCOS as "a problem with hormones" that can result in not having periods very often, or having periods that last "many days." WHO defines endometriosis as "a disease characterized by the presence of tissue resembling endometrium (the lining of the uterus) outside the uterus" that "causes a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in the formation of scar tissue (adhesions, fibrosis) within the pelvis and other parts of the body."

Hailey also reached out to her followers who can "overly relate or understand" how she's been feeling while dealing with her ovarian cyst. "We got this," she signed off with three peace sign emojis.
Hailey also got ahead of any pregnancy rumors by throwing a "not a baby" caption right near where her cyst appears.
Best of luck to Hailey on a speedy recovery!
