‘If another woman says to me what’s happened with your face I may scream,’ she began the lengthy post. 

‘When I gain weight it goes to my munchkin cheeks. When I drop weight it mainly goes from my upper body very quickly.’ 

She also added that she is suffers from a ‘hormonal imbalance’ due to her endometriosis and has been diagnosed with Popolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). 

What is endometriosis? 

Endometriosis is a common disease in which the tissue that is similar to the lining of the womb grows outside it in other parts of the body.

Up to 10 per cent of women suffer with endometriosis at some point in their life with the disease often starting in teenagers.

Symptoms are variable and this may contribute to the seven to 10 year delay in diagnosis. Common symptoms include pelvic pain that puts life on hold around or during a woman’s period. It can affect fertility.

While endometriosis most often affects the reproductive organs, it is frequently found in the bowel and bladder and has been found in muscle, joints, the lungs and the brain.

‘I also have hormone imbalance from my endometriosis that I’m still navigating with my naturopath and a specialist,’ she continued. 

‘I recently found out I also have PCOS AND quite large fibroid growing inside me. It’s an ongoing battle that I am taking day by day and awaiting results and what to do next.’ 

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that can cause enlarged ovaries and small cysts on the outer edges of the ovaries.

She finally pleaded with her followers to ‘be careful’ about what they say to others because weight gain and loss can also ‘be due to mental health’. 

‘Plus remembering weight gain and loss can be due to mental health… so lets be careful what we say about other peoples appearances,’ she wrote. 

Angie has spoken openly about her struggle with endometriosis in the past, telling TV Week last year that she was ‘relieved’ by the diagnosis.

‘I finally had answers as to why I’d been in such pain for such a long time,’ she said.

She was first diagnosed with the condition, which is caused when tissue lining the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus, in 2016.

Since then, she has undergone several procedures to remove it.
