Amy Schumer recently shared on her Instagram that she underwent surgery to have her uterus and appendix removed as a result of endometriosis. Known for her candid approach to personal health topics, Schumer has always been open about her life experiences, from her husband’s autism to the challenges of motherhood.
In a post shared on September 18, Schumer included a photo and a short video captured by her husband, Chris Fischer, detailing her surgery. Endometriosis is a painful condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to severe discomfort and potential infertility. Schumer wrote, “If you have really painful periods, you may have #endometriosis.”
During her recovery, she explained, “It’s the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out. The doctor found, babe, 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed, and he also took out my appendix because it was affected.” She recounted the surgery experience while resting in her hospital bed, noting, “There was a lot of blood in my uterus, and I’m, you know, sore, and I have some gas pains, but other than that, I already feel that my energy—” The video cut off amid her laughter, indicating a positive shift in her mood.
Support poured in from friends and fans alike. One commenter exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, 30?! So happy they are gone and you won’t have pain anymore. Heal well, Am! ❤️” Another, Vanessa, added humorously, “I’m so sorry Amy! Looks like life is about to get way less painful. But not less gassy.” Most wished her a swift recovery.
Prior to this surgery, Schumer had determined that she wouldn’t be having any more children after experiencing severe complications during her pregnancy with her son, Gene. She battled hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness, which left her unable to work at times. In a now-deleted post from 2018, she candidly shared her struggles during pregnancy, stating, “I’m in the hospital. I’m fine. Baby’s fine but everyone who says the 2nd trimester is better is not telling the full story.” These complications were further documented in her HBO Max docuseries, Expecting Amy.
