Love Island star Tayla Damir reveals painful endometriosis diagnosis

Love Island star Tayla Damir has made an emotional reveal after battling extreme pain before “finally” receiving answers.

Tayla Damir has revealed she has “finally” received some answers after a long health battle.

The former Love Island star and girlfriend of AFL player Nathan Broad said after years of struggling with “stomach and hormone issues”, she has been diagnosed with Endometriosis.

“Finally some answers!,” Damir, 25, wrote on Instagram alongside a series of emotional photos taken while in hospital.

“I went to hospital early last year with pain that turned out to be cysts.

She experienced bloating and hot flushes before receiving a diagnosis.

Damir encouraged followers to listen to their bodies.

“I had my first Laparoscopy on Friday to confirm if I had Endometriosis (a disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus).

“The endo was discovered growing on the left tube but thankfully I only had a very small amount … Although I’m in lots of pain still I can’t help but still feel gratitude to now have answers, to have an amazing doctor and great nurses at Cabrini and that there was only a small amount of endo which has now been removed.”

She posted a series of emotional and intimate posts about her condition.

She said the post was a reminder for people to listen to their bodies.

“As you guys know, I get extremely bloated and can have massive mood swings and fatigue.

“I have had countless blood tests, seen naturopaths, hormone specialist, doctors and was always given the same answer; ‘you have a sensitive body and need to stress less’.”

Damir revealed that the pain and symptoms had “heightened to a whole new level” at the start of 2020 and while she is still in pain feels “gratitude” for having answers.
