'It can be so hard to put yourself first. Yesterday I had endometriosis surgery, removal of severe adenomyosis and treatment of varicose veins,' she explained. 'This was the best laparoscopy I've ever had! Get yourself a surgeon who holds your hand while you fall asleep, but is also one of the best doctors in the country! Thank you.'.

Kendall went on to explain endometriosis refers to 'the endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus' while adenomyosis is 'the tissue growing into the muscle of the uterus' and varicose veins are a result of having 'babies and vaginal delivery.'.

'As a proud @endometriosisaustralia ambassador I know too well that there is no cure for this hideous disease and that it does not discriminate!' she continued. 'It has crippled me over the last two years. People mistakenly say pregnancy can improve it - that's not true! In my case it was worse after babies!.
'If you want to know more or to donate - visit the Endometriosis Australia website. A link is in my bio! Now time to recover.'. Endometriosis is a disease in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterus - often on ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder or intestines.
