'I've been in so much pain, you know, my whole life.'
. Endometriosis is a disorder that causes endometrial tissue, AKA the tissue that lines the uterus, to grow outside of the uterus. Not only can this be incredibly painful, but it also can lead to infertility and other health complications.
Schumer had a hysterectomy, a removal of the uterus, to help treat her endometriosis, which she described during her CBS News interview as a “lonely disease.” She also had an appendectomy,“You know, for months, I had been complaining of pain…it was just this pain you can't see. And, you know, there is the inclination to always think a woman is just being dramatic,” Schumer said in the interview.
“It just felt like someone lifted this veil that had been over me. And I just felt like a different person… like a new mom,” said Schumer. She continued, “... as women, we’re told that the words ‘drama queen,’ ‘stop being a pussy,’ ‘don’t be a little bitch,’ ‘you’re being a little girl’ — all these phrases, all of them, paint women as weak. Culturally, I just feel like I grew up believing that too. I assumed I was being a drama queen.”
