Besides that, she said that her uterus was all bloody and she is having gas pains along with some sores. Well, her condition is stable and she is recovering slowly.
The next day, Amy Schumer posted another video just to raise awareness regarding endometriosis. She said that it is an extremely painful and debilitating condition. People need not live with it. The operation procedure is a bit messy but it is all that you need.
Moreover, Amy said that she is trying to recover and hoping that the procedure will make her life easier ahead. She also wrote that women have the right to live pain-free life. And we are not even denying it. Besides that, she also posted a mirror selfie in her hospital gown.
