‘Pretty Little Liars’ Star Janel Parrish Reveals Endometriosis Diagnosis and Surgery

Janel Parrish, best known for her role in the hit series “Pretty Little Liars,” has bravely shared a personal health battle with her fans. The actress revealed on Instagram that she was diagnosed with endometriosis and recently underwent surgery to address the condition.

In a heartfelt post, Parrish wrote, “I usually keep my private life private… but I wanted to share this if it can help other women suffering to know they’re not alone. After months of excruciating pain and not knowing why, I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and underwent surgery to remove cysts and scar tissue as a result of the disease.”

Parrish’s openness about her struggle aims to shed light on endometriosis, a condition that affects millions of women but is often misunderstood and under-discussed. She continued, “To my Endo sisters, there is so little information out there about this and there is no cure…so it is easy for us to feel helpless, scared, and alone. Seeing other women posting about their experiences made ME feel stronger. I hope this helps to keep the conversation about Endo open and flowing, so we can raise awareness and lift each other up. We ARE strong and we got this. I got you.”

The actress’s post has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities, many of whom have praised her for bringing attention to a condition that often goes unnoticed. By sharing her journey, Parrish hopes to encourage other women to seek help and feel empowered in their battles with endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and potentially leading to fertility issues. Despite its prevalence, endometriosis remains a largely invisible illness, making awareness and education crucial.
