Marsai Martin Reveals She Had Surgery Performed to Remove Ovarian Cyst

Over the weekend, Black-ish alum, Marsai Martin revealed a secret that she had been keeping regarding her health but she is back on the mend after experiencing “constant pain for 4+ years.”

On an Instagram Story post, the 18-year-old entertainer posted a black and white photo of her on a stretcher in a hospital. She reveals that she recently had surgery for a large ovarian cyst that has caused her constant pain for years. She acknowledged having a supportive family and people who helped educate her on what the process entailed.

“If you missed my live, long story short, I had surgery for my large ovarian cyst that gave me constant pain for 4+ years.

“I really don’t remember any of this sh*t because of the anesthesia, lol. But I will say that I am very grateful to have family and educators by my side in support of this process.”

She also stated she is sharing this to help spread awareness and her experience to anyone who may be going through the same thing. She adds some advice to “Listen to your body.”

“The only reason I am sharing this is so I can hopefully spread awareness and share my experience to the young women out there that may be going through the same thing or have difficult menstrual cycles. “You are never alone. Listen to your body. It always shows you signs. Health is wealth.”

Less than 24 hours after the initial post, she came back to let people know that she is doing well and feeling better and she also mentioned that this took place 10 days ago.

“Thank y’all for all the love. The procedure was 10 days ago and I’m now feeling fine. I also appreciate the stories from folks that have been through the same thing! But I’m back and I’m betta.”

Last month, Martin announced the launch of her first-ever digital fashion collection in an Instagram post.
