Glumica šokirala svijet: 'Nisam trudna, bolesna sam'

Da se ne radi o trudnoći, već bolesti, glumica Monica Potter objasnila je u podužem postu na svom Instagram profilu nakon što se svijet raspisao da je trudna u 47. godini života.

Zbunila je sve, naime, fotografijom koju je objavila dan ranije, a na kojoj pozira golog trbuha kojeg je obgrlila objema rukama.

'Hvala na čestitkama, ali nisam trudna već sam samo htjela baciti svjetlo na problem koji mnoge muči, osobito žene. O njemu se ne govori jer nije seksi, lijepo ni glamurozno... Prije dvije godine dijagnosticirali su mi kolitis (upalna bolest crijeva koja uzrokuje bolove u trbuhu, čireve na rektumu i debelom crijevu, proljev, gubitak težine). Kad sam u akutnoj fazi trpim bolove i sve je to vrlo frustrirajuće. Stoga, ako vas muče obdomenalni problemi znajte da niste jedini i budite svjesni važnosti da se morate redovito kontrolirati. Priuštite si vrijeme za pregled, a pregledajte se i preventivno', napisala je Potter, između ostalog, u dirljivom postu, a sve je rekla i u videoprilogu.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me well wishes. I’m not pregnant but wanted to shed some light on some issues we all may deal with, especially women. It’s never really talked about because it’s not sexy, pretty, our glamorous to say the least, so I decided to share a photo to possibly inspire my friends (you), create a platform to share stories, and rely on each other for support and guidance. I’ve had colitis for almost 2 years and sometimes when I get flareups it’s painful and frustrating, so for all of you who suffer from colitis or other abdominal issues, please know you’re not alone. I’m going for a check up on Friday and following up with colonoscopy this month. I want to stress the importance of getting regular check-ups with your gastroenterologist or family physician. I hope this open discussion will lead to many other things we face as women, mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and every role we take on. Take time for yourself and go get checked. Even if you’re not having issues it’s important. Please note that I am not sponsored by anyone but me - I did this on my own, and just wanted to share. That being said, a huge thank you to these foundations that are bringing awareness and guidance to all of us for better health #colon #colonoscopy #colitis #ulcerativecolitis #americanmedicalassociation #clevelandclinic #crohncolitisawareness #crohnsdisease #livehealthy #womenshealth #prevention #health
