Lupita Nyong'o reveals uterine fibroids diagnosis
Lupita Nyong'o has revealed her uterine fibroids diagnosis after "suffering in silence" for more than a decade. The 42-year-old actor was diagnosed with the illness - which sees non-cancerous growths developing in or around the uterus - 11 years ago, and she has opened up in a bid to encourage more people to talk about women's health issues. She wrote on Instagram over a series of photos: "In March 2014, I won an Academy Award. That same year, I discovered I had uterine fibroids. 30 fibroids. "I had surgery to remove them. I asked my doctor if I could do anything to prevent them from recurring. "She said: 'You can't. It's only a matter of time until they grow again.' " She explained that uterine fibroids "can range from the size of a pea to as large as a melon", and "can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and anaemia, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and complications with pregnancy". One of the slides on The Wild Robot star's post noted that while some women "have no symptoms at all", others will "experience debilitating effects". Nyong'o pointed out how people "speak so little" of the health issue, despite fibroids affecting eight out of 10 Black women, and seven out of 10 white women. "I started talking about my experience privately, and I realised so many women are going through this," she wrote. "We're struggling alone with something that affects us most. No more suffering in silence! "We must reject the normalisation of female pain." Lupita Nyong'o has revealed her uterine fibroids diagnosis after "suffering in silence" for more than a decade.

Lupita Nyong'o reveals uterine fibroids diagnosis and calls for change
Lupita Nyong'o has revealed her uterine fibroids diagnosis after "suffering in silence" for over a decade. The 42-year-old actress was diagnosed with the illness - which sees non-cancerous growths developing in or around the uterus - 11 years ago, and she has opened up in a bid to encourage more people to talk about women's health issues. She wrote on Instagram over a series of photos: "In March 2014, I won an Academy Award. That same year, I discovered I had uterine fibroids. 30 fibroids. "I had surgery to remove them. I asked my doctor if I could do anything to prevent them from recurring. "She said: 'You can't. It's only a matter of time until they grow again.'

One of the slides on The Wild Robot star's post noted that while some women "have no symptoms at all", others will "experience debilitating effects". Lupita pointed out how people "speak so little" of the health issue, despite fibroids impacting 8 out of 10 Black women, and 7 out of 10 white women. She continued: "When we reach puberty, we're taught periods mean pain, and that pain is simply part of being a woman. "I started talking about my experience privately, and I realized so many women are going through this. "We're struggling alone with something that affects us most. No more suffering in silence! We need to stop treating this massive issue like a series of unfortunate coincidences. "We must reject the normalization of female pain. "I envision a future with early education for teenagers, better screening protocols, robust prevention research, and less invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. "Let's study women's health and prioritize this chronic condition that has never been comprehensively examined." The A Quiet Place: Day One actress encouraged her fans to read the caption to the lengthy post, which explained more about Fibroid Awareness Month and revealed she has not only called members of Congress to table a "package of uterine fibroid Congressional bills", as well as teaming up with the Foundation For Women's Health to launch the FWH x Lupita Nyong'o Uterine Fibroid Research Grant. She wrote: "We deserve better. It's time to demand it. Silence serves no one!"

At 50, Pedro Pascal Has Three Major Releases in Six Weeks: ‘I'm Having a Really Amazing Time'
Just three months ago, certified Hollywood heartthrob Pedro Pascal turned 50 years old — his 2025 has been so abuzz with hits, most have probably forgotten that he was in 'Gladiator II' and 'The Wild Robot' not even a year ago. After years of largely working under the radar, he told AP that he can hardly believe his luck. 'It is the best time of my life,' he said. 'Just, I don't know… look around, and it's an incredible reflection of… what I'm experiencing right now. I'm having a really amazing time.' More from IndieWire Superman's Underwear Returns: A Brief History of the Man of Steel's Red Trunks Alamo Founder Tim League Launches Private Movie Theater Experience in New York Following the success of the romantic drama 'Materialists' last month, 'The Last of Us' star is front and center as Mr. Fantastic in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' out in theaters July 25. He said that he does not take the responsibility of leading a brand-new Marvel Studios feature lightly, emphasizing that he knows that the massive, hardcore fan base is watching. 'I think that sometimes the outside will find you, no matter how much you try to protect yourself from it,' Pascal said. 'It just comes with the territory. I think maybe my nerves were bigger than they usually are, and so I think I just was a little bit more sensitive to the love that people have for stories like this, because I know that they wouldn't exist if it weren't for the love that people have for these characters.' 'The Mandalorian' actor certainly is no stranger to acting in beloved franchises — from a preeminent intergalactic series to an epic video game adaptation — and he recognized the responsibility of crafting a piece of entertainment that would satisfy audiences. 'I think that it's just very important for me that expectations be fulfilled… but I also know that the only way to do that is to give it all my focus and all my heart and my body and my soul and… that was the best I could do,' Pascal shared. Beyond entering the MCU, Pascal will also hit theaters on Friday, July 18 in Ari Aster's latest 'Eddington,' where he plays a small town mayor squaring off against Joaquin Phoenix on opposite sides of the COVID debate circa 2020. That would be the second of three theatrical releases he has in just six weeks. Watch the trailer for 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' below.
