Lili Reinhart Shares Endometriosis Diagnosis

by

Lili Reinhart is sharing insight into her health journey.

Lili Reinhart, known for her role on Riverdale, recently received an endometriosis diagnosis. She explained that the diagnosis came after many visits to the hospital and doctors.

On December 11th, a 29-year-old shared on Instagram that she was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis after seeing a urogynecologist. She explained that doctors told her there’s currently no cure and no way to permanently relieve her symptoms.

She shared that she’d seen doctors three times, including several specialists in urology and gynecology, but none of them thought to investigate endometriosis as a possible explanation for her health problems.

She also posted a graphic highlighting statistics she’s gathered, revealing that people with endometriosis – a painful condition affecting the reproductive organs and pelvic tissue, according to the Mayo Clinic – are sixteen times more likely to also have interstitial cystitis, which causes bladder pain.

Lili said the long process of getting diagnosed was a major source of her frustration.

She explained that she didn’t learn about endometriosis as a possible cause of her pain until she saw two pelvic floor therapists.

For the actress, advocating for herself was key to getting answers.

I really had to advocate for myself and push to get an MRI, and thankfully it finally led to a diagnosis of adenomyosis. After that, I found an endometriosis specialist who I felt comfortable with, and together we decided laparoscopic surgery was the right path for me. It was so confusing though, because another gynecologist actually told me I likely didn’t have endometriosis and suggested I just try birth control pills instead. It was a really frustrating experience trying to navigate all the different opinions.

Having faced difficulties herself, Lili inspired her readers to find their voice and advocate for their own needs, just as she had done.

She finished by saying she was happy she listened to her intuition and encouraged others to do the same. She explained that endometriosis is often poorly understood, and it can take many years – between 4 and 11 – to get a clear diagnosis through surgery. The World Health Organization estimates that about 1 in 10 people with a uterus experience endometriosis.

Lili is fortunate to have a strong support system, especially her boyfriend, Jack Martin, who helped her cope with the challenges of interstitial cystitis earlier this year.

She shared on Instagram on January 23rd that she wouldn’t have been able to cope without her partner. She explained that it’s challenging to be in a relationship with someone who is chronically ill, especially when she was largely confined to her home for months, unable to walk because of pain, and struggling with depression due to her declining health.

Lili shared about actor Jack, saying his love and support remained constant even when she was at her weakest and her health was failing.

Nikki Bella, known from Total Bellas, shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit during an elbow strike from wrestler Piper Niven in a match that took place in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, saying they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitment, she’d return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, because she planned to use it again and it couldn’t appear in its current condition.

Lupita Nyong’o received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids – non-cancerous growths in or around the womb – in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her role in 12 Years a Slave.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with it for over ten years.

She explained that many girls are taught to accept period pain as a normal part of being a woman, leaving them to deal with it privately and feeling isolated. It’s something that impacts most of us, yet we often struggle with it on our own.

 

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always talking about comfort and style, and recently, I learned a valuable lesson from one of my favorite actresses! She shared that she actually had to be hospitalized because of a hernia – basically, a weak spot in the abdominal muscles – and it was caused by wearing pants that were just too tight. It’s a reminder that while fashion is fun, prioritizing your health and comfort is always the most important thing!

She messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “You haven’t tweeted in ages!” She then jokingly added, “I’ve been meaning to tell you… I think I got a hernia six months ago from wearing super tight pants, and I’ve been too afraid to say anything.”

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery for a nearly ruptured appendix.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain, which led him to the emergency room. He discovered he had a perforated appendix – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

As a longtime observer of athletes and their well-being, I was really concerned to hear about the Racing Louisville midfielder who collapsed during their game against Seattle Reign on September 14th. It happened so early in the match, just a few minutes in at Lumen Field in Seattle, and it was definitely a scary moment for everyone involved.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, before suddenly collapsing. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

After receiving initial medical attention on the field, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, the National Women’s Soccer League announced on X. They reported that she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from a childhood accident – he was hit by a cement truck when he was 11 – continue to bother him now.

“It’s been awful,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I experience spasms all over my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the last year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He said he was in so much pain he had to crawl to get help, and the pain worsened during a road trip with a friend.

He described a lingering tingling sensation in his knees and toes during a March 2025 episode of his podcast, Trading Secrets. He explained that just a few weeks prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds, but now he can’t even do a single squat or stand on one leg without falling. He compared the feeling to having a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

The comedian later posted on social media to explain he’d actually gotten food poisoning and was starting to feel better.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting trip when the incident occurred.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her, checked her injuries, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

The Kim Possible actress explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind her eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, and they’ll keep monitoring her vision, which is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving a frightening experience. She shared how much she loves her family and friends, emphasizing the importance of cherishing loved ones. She described feeling as though her life passed before her eyes, and urged everyone to hug those around them, reminding us how quickly things can change.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, even though it can be harsh, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier” and facing criticism online, doctors began commenting on interviews, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome, a condition often linked to high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted Schumer to realize she’d been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. She wouldn’t have known about the condition without the online attention. Thankfully, doctors determined her case of Cushing syndrome would resolve on its own, which she shared was “the greatest news imaginable.” She’s now relieved to be healthy.

In December 2024, an AHL player suffered a skate cut during a game and needed 25 stitches to close the wound. After his son made a full recovery, New Jersey Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald shared with ESPN how relieved they were, saying, “We feel very lucky, and I wouldn’t want any parent to go through that.”

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, initially unable to respond when Justin asked if she was okay. She then realized she couldn’t speak and the right side of her face began to droop.

Although the symptoms eventually subsided, Hailey went to the hospital where doctors discovered she’d had a small blood clot travel to her brain, which they diagnosed as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Doctors determined the blood clot had passed through this hole and traveled to her brain, causing the TIA.

Hailey underwent a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also went through a difficult time. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained the condition affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also shared that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well, saying it had been a frightening and unexpected situation, but he was going to be completely fine and she was grateful he was on the mend.

Jamie Foxx initially kept his health issues private, but he later shared details about his frightening experience. He explained that one day he was suffering from a severe headache and asked for aspirin. Before he could take it, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

He initially saw a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home. However, his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital, where doctors discovered he’d had a brain bleed that caused a stroke.

After surgery, twenty days later on May 4th, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for extensive rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for all the prayers he received, saying he needed every single one.

The reality TV star shared that she briefly stopped breathing while running in the first challenge of the NBC competition show, describing the experience as feeling like ‘dying’.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling as if she were floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, everything went dark, but she then saw light, which led her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the series, she experienced a severe headache during a workout, which quickly escalated. She described feeling violently ill and realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She immediately underwent surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, leaving her unable to speak clearly.

After a week, her speech returned, and she was discharged from the hospital a month later. However, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had grown and required a second surgery. This procedure failed, causing a major bleed, and doctors warned her chances of survival were low without another operation. This time, they had to access her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia is now fully recovered and says she is back to one hundred percent.

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, is thankful for the support of her family. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, who quickly came to her aid. She shared with TopMob News that after texting them about the stroke and sending a photo, “Everybody just came to my rescue.”

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues. She explained that while she could have gone home after the stroke, her lupus and failing kidneys required further treatment.

Now, Cori is recovering well. “I’m doing great,” she said. “I just had a little bit of motor skills that I had to work back on. But other than that, I was fine.”

Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her 20s. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she revealed she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue, and digestive problems. She described a confusing experience with multiple doctors offering different diagnoses.

Determined to find answers, Woodley combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies, drawing on her background in herbalism. This search for well-being lasted for a decade.

The physical discomfort led to emotional and mental challenges, including fear of food, body image issues, and a struggle with her sense of self. However, after years of addressing both her physical and mental health, Shailene is now feeling much better and considers herself very healthy. She expressed gratitude for her recovery and overall well-being.
