Amy Schumer utilizes criticisms about her looks to educate others about endometriosis.

Amy Schumer, an actress and comedian, is responding to criticisms about her appearance by asking people to concentrate on her profession and learn more about a common women’s health problem.
Schumer, 42, went to Instagram on Thursday to celebrate the opening of the second season of her Hulu sitcom, “Life & Beth,” which she writes, directs, executive produces, and stars in.

“[T]hank you so much for everyone’s input about my face!” Schumer opened her article with a playful tone. “For almost 20 years, I’ve appreciated receiving comments and contemplation about my looks, as do all women. And you’re true, my face looks puffier than usual right now.”
Schumer went on to say that she is presently dealing with “some medical and hormonal things” as a result of endometriosis, a condition in which the tissue that forms the inner lining of the uterus is located outside of the uterus, such as in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, and intestines.
Endometriosis-related tissue development may induce inflammation, which can lead to symptoms such as pelvic discomfort, menstrual changes, and difficulty becoming pregnant.
Schumer, who has been open about her battle with the condition, will have surgery to remove her uterus and appendix in 2021.
On Instagram, Schumer defined endometriosis as an illness that “all women should read about.”
Endometriosis affects one out of every ten women of reproductive age in the United States, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. According to specialists, many women go undetected for years due to the wide variety of symptoms and a lack of awareness of the condition.
Endometriosis frequently begins as small, scattered lesions on the inner lining of the abdominal cavity, known as “peritoneal endometriosis,” Dr. Tamer Seckin, an endometriosis surgeon in New York and co-founder of the non-profit Endometriosis Foundation of America (EndoFound) with TV personality Padma Lakshmi, previously told ABC News. These lesions may be quite minute, measured in millimeters, and can not show up on imaging tests like ultrasounds.
EndoFound reports that many women wait up to ten years for a diagnosis. While the condition is most typically diagnosed in women in their 30s and 40s, ACOG reports that it may also afflict teenagers.
While teaching people about endometriosis, Schumer stated in an Instagram post that she hopes people, particularly women, can accept and find comfort in the changes in their bodies.
“I also believe a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation,” Schumer said in a statement. “But I wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self love and acceptance of the skin you’re in.”
She went on, “Like every other woman/person, some days I feel confident and wonderful as hell, while others I want to throw a sack over my head. But I feel powerful, gorgeous, and very proud of the television program I made. Wrote. I starred in and directed. Maybe we can concentrate on it for a short while.
