Katie Knowles Undergoes Hysterectomy After Years of Pain

Katie Knowles, wife of TV presenter Nick Knowles, has undergone a hysterectomy after enduring years of severe pain caused by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and adenomyosis. The 35-year-old lingerie business owner shared her experience on Instagram, describing constant hospital visits, multiple surgeries, extreme pain, chronic fatigue, and emotional distress that severely affected her quality of life. Despite attempts with various treatments, including hormone therapies and medical menopause, the pain persisted, leading her to make the difficult decision to have her uterus removed just weeks after marrying Nick Knowles. Katie expressed feeling "less like a woman" post-operation but emphasized that the surgery was necessary to reclaim her life and reduce the suffering. She also highlighted the emotional challenges, including grief over the loss of fertility, but underscored that her two daughters remain her priority. Her candid revelations have brought awareness to the impact of these often-misunderstood conditions and the importance of recognizing that such pain is not "just a bad period."
