Bindi Irwin, the daughter of legendary environmentalist and TV personality Steve Irwin, has shared a heartbreaking health update. She’s been fighting an “invisible disease,” which she described as ‘inescapably painful.’
Bindi Irwin has shared a heartbreaking update about her health, and her words are touching people around the world. The 27-year-old has been fighting endometriosis for many years. Now, she is opening up about just how hard it has been
In a recent Instagram message, Bindi revealed the truth about her struggle.
“In the last three years, I’ve had over 50 endometriosis lesions cut out of my body. A chocolate cyst that was adhering my ovary to my side was removed. An appendectomy and a hernia repair. I’ve felt indescribable, inescapable pain,” Bindi Irwin wrote.
She further explained that doctors had to remove a cyst, her appendix, and repair a hernia. But the hardest part has been the pain. For years, Bindi says no one understood what she was going through.
She shared how doctors told her it was just “part of being a woman,” and because of that, she went 10 years without a diagnosis.

During that time, she felt alone and unsure of herself. Endometriosis is often called an “invisible disease” because people cannot see it. Still, the pain can be very real and very strong. Millions of women worldwide suffer from it.
Now, Bindi wants to use her voice to help others.
As this month comes to a close, I urge everyone to remember this invisible disease each and every day. To lend support, compassion and grace towards the millions who suffer. It’s up to all of us to raise awareness, not just for endometriosis but for women’s health as a whole. No one deserves to suffer in silence,” she wrote.
She also had an important message for anyone going through pain:
“If you’re in pain… I believe you. Please find answers. And don’t give up on yourself.”
