Andi Oliver has spoken about her recovery from the hysterectomy she underwent last year after doctors found fibroids in her womb that were so large it was “like I was five months pregnant”. The TV chef, 59, said she had first gone to the doctor after feeling unwell despite being generally healthy and active.
She explained: “Last year, despite exercising six times a week, I felt s**t* – something wasn’t right. My GP sent me for an ultrasound and a gynaecologist found 10 fibroids in my womb. They were so large it was like I was five months pregnant.”
Speaking to Women's Health UK, she added: “I’ve since had a full hysterectomy.” A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the womb (uterus).
