Lauryn Goodman reveals she’s considering a hysterectomy

She has been diagnosed with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. 

And Lauryn Goodman revealed on Tuesday that she has considered a hysterectomy to lessen the pain of her condition, which is so intense she often struggles to hold her nineteen-month-old son Kairo. 

Speaking to Closer, she said: ‘I feel so tired but I want to give all my energy to my son… I get mum guilt because during those times im not even able to do the basics for my baby. It’s heartbreaking.’

Lauryn continued: ‘The only way I can describe the pain is that its similar to labour and severe contractions.

‘All I want to do is curl up in a ball with my hot water bottle. Your body tells you to sleep but with a little one depending on you, you can’t do that.’ 

She detailed how her debilitating periods often last up to 12 days and cause her to break down in tears due to the agony she experiences. 

Lauryn explained that her son Kairo is an active child and that she struggles to keep up with him normally, let alone when she’s suffering from her condition.   

The star also revealed how, after trying medically-induced menopause she experienced hot and cold flushes. 

While this relieved the pain short term it isn’t advised by doctors to be under this treatment for more than six months. 

She admitted that while a hysterectomy is an option for the future she is still exploring other options while she’s young – however she has currently ruled out having any more children. 

Lauryn was previously told that if she wanted to conceive she’d need IVF but was overjoyed when she found out she was pregnant with Kairo.  

She said on BBC news earlier this year: ‘I fell pregnant, with my little miracle baby!

Lauryn welcomed son Kairo with former flame, and England footballer, Kyle Walker in April.

The campaigner previously revealed she had no idea she was in labour with her baby because having endometriosis meant she was already so used to regular pain.

The media personality took to Instagram in June to gush over her son, telling of her experience giving birth.

Alongside a sweet snap of her cradling the tot, Lauryn wrote: ‘I couldn’t love anything more if I tried. The faces you pull & the smiles you make melt my heart. You are showing me your little personality and you are so amazing already. ✨ 

‘We have gotten to know each other better over the weeks which has made things slightly easier. At first it was trial and error but now we’ve figured it out a bit more. ✨

‘You make me a better person every day. You are just so innocently cute and I can’t believe you’re mine. My Ickle bestie. Feels like yesterday my contractions started and I was closer to meeting you. ✨’

She went on: ‘For anyone that has endometriosis and is pregnant. Honestly the fact you feel those pains month in month out when you have a period, made my contractions easier to deal with. I didn’t feel any of my early contractions at all, I didn’t even know I was in early labour or active labour.

‘I started to feel them when I was 6cm dilated. I thought I was going to go into hospital with contractions and they would send me home but it didn’t quite go like that – I was shocked when they said “6cm & loads of wet black curly hair, off to labour ward”.

‘Genuinely for anyone that doesn’t understand endo pain = labour contractions! Imagine those pains every month of your life whilst having a period. ✨’
