Lili Reinhart reveals endometriosis diagnosis after doctors dismissed her symptoms
Actor, 29, diagnosed with inflammatory disease after doctors dismissed mystery pain
- Actor Lili Reinhart has been diagnosed with endometriosis following laparoscopic surgery last week.
- Reinhart, best known for her role in Riverdale, revealed her pain was previously dismissed by several doctors, leading to misdiagnoses such as interstitial cystitis and adenomyosis.
- She pursued laparoscopic surgery after consulting an endometriosis specialist, despite another gynaecologist suggesting she 'probably didn't have endo'.
- Reinhart expressed feeling 'validated and relieved' by the diagnosis, stressing the importance of trusting one's body and advocating for oneself.
- She highlighted that endometriosis is a widely misunderstood condition, often resulting in a significant delay between symptoms and a definitive surgical diagnosis.
