Bindi Irwin fights to be healthy for her family following emergency surgery
Bindi Irwin is on the road to recovery and taking the time to heal after suffering a ruptured appendix earlier this month. Irwin, the daughter of late animal advocate Steve Irwin, was forced to miss an annual gala in honor of her father due to emergency surgery. While the surgery was initially intended to address her appendix, doctors discovered a myriad of issues Irwin, 26, needed medical attention for, including 14 additional lesions related to her endometriosis diagnosis. "Healing. Thank you for your incredible words of support and kindness," Bindi shared on social media. "The reason I share my health journey is because more girls and women desperately need answers to their undiagnosed pain. "I've battled with endometriosis for more than 12 years. This disease is crippling and can make you feel incredibly isolated. We need to raise awareness and change the narrative for women's health. I see you, your pain is real, and you deserve answers and genuine health care." Her husband, Chandler Powell, praised Bindi on social media, and wrote, "I've said it many times already, but as time goes on I'm even more convinced that you are the strongest person I know." He added, "Going through everything you have to get on top of your health as well as help others along the way is incredible. You are a warrior in every sense of the word. Grace and I are so grateful for you and everything you do." She responded, "My hope is to be healthy for our family. I love you so much." Irwin detailed some of her medical journey on social media shortly after she was hospitalized. "After having a grumbly appendix, I finally had to seek help the day of our Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas," she wrote earlier this month. "I consulted with Dr. Seckin, and we agreed that if I flew to New York, he could also check for endometriosis again. "Surgery was a success. My appendix was removed, along with another 14 lesions (after having 37 endometriosis lesions and a cyst removed two years ago). I also had a repair to a large hernia I acquired through childbirth four years ago. Thankfully, I am on the road to recovery." This is not the first health scare Bindi has encountered. In 2023, the mom of one revealed an endometriosis diagnosis that also required surgery. "My life now looks completely different than it did before I had my surgery," Irwin told Fox News Digital at the time. "Over the 10 years that I was really battling with endo[metriosis] without knowing it, I would get progressively worse every week and in the end, before my surgery, I was barely able to get out of bed." Irwin, who described the pain she experienced as a "stabbing feeling" and "really scary," revealed in March that she endured the painful condition for 10 years and struggled for a proper diagnosis.

Bindi Irwin has shared an update from New York following a 'crippling' struggle with endometriosis and an emergency health crisis that saw her land up in hospital. The conservationist, 26, who suffered a ruptured appendix and was rushed into surgery two weeks ago, took to Instagram on Sunday with some pictures of her time in the Big Apple, accompanied with a caption that assured fans that she was 'healing'. 'The reason I share my health journey is because more girls and women desperately need answers to their undiagnosed pain,' she penned the post. Steve Irwin's famous daughter, who has battled endometriosis for over 12 years, said that the disease can be 'crippling' and make you feel 'incredibly isolated'. 'We need to raise awareness and change the narrative for women's health,' she shared. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I see you, your pain is real, and you deserve answers and genuine health care.' One of the images in the Instagram post showed Bindi smiling for the camera while huddled under an umbrella in the rain. Another saw the conservationist posing under a tree in what seems to be Central Park. Soon after Bindi's emotional Instagram post, her husband shared some pictures to the social media platform praising her bravery. 'I've said it many times already, but as time goes on I'm even more convinced that you are the strongest person I know,' Chandler Powell captioned the post, which showed Bindi and her daughter Grace, four, walking hand-in-hand. 'Going through everything you have to get on top of your health as well as help others along the way is incredible,' he gushed. 'You are a warrior in every sense of the word,' he wrote, adding: 'Grace and I are so grateful for you and everything you do.' In May, Bindi was rushed to hospital just hours after touching down in Las Vegas for a gala honouring her late father. She suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery, missing the prestigious event which she was due to attend alongside brother Robert Irwin and mother Terri Irwin. Robert told People magazine at the time that Bindi was recovering and her mother is at her bedside. 'She's going to be okay, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them,' Robert explained. Terri also missed the event while accompanying her daughter to hospital and staying by her side through surgery. Robert explained that Bindi had been suffering some pain in the lead up to the gala but had tried to soldier on. 'She came to Las Vegas and was ready to put on a brave face. She said, 'I'm just going to tough it out.' 'But the surgeon told her, 'Your appendix is going. It's got to come out.'' In an Instagram post, Bindi revealed that while her appendix was removed, doctors discovered another 14 lesions from her endometriosis. These were also successfully removed. She also had a large hernia repaired which had developed after giving birth to daughter Grace in 2021. Additionally, Bindi has been open about her battle with endometriosis and said in 2023 she felt like a 'completely new person' after surgery related to the disease.
