ABC News Anchor Linsey Davis Reveals Years-Long Uterine Fibroids Battle, Plans Hysterectomy

ABC News anchor Linsey Davis has opened up about her long struggle with uterine fibroids, revealing that she will undergo a hysterectomy to resolve the painful condition. Diagnosed 13 years ago, Davis initially had mild symptoms and was able to give birth to her son without complications, but her symptoms worsened over time, including heavy bleeding and severe bloating. After a myomectomy removed six fibroids, she later discovered 13 more, leading to her decision to have a hysterectomy, the only way to cure her condition. Davis has publicly shared her experience to raise awareness, emphasizing how she previously suffered in silence and endured significant discomfort. She also addressed the embarrassment caused by on-camera bloating, which led to false pregnancy rumors during her coverage. Davis expressed confidence that the surgery will improve her quality of life and hopes that sharing her story will help others feel less isolated.
