Nick Knowles' wife Katie, 35, reveals she's had a hysterectomy after going through ‘years of pain'
NICK Knowles' wife Katie has revealed that she has had a hysterectomy after going through 'years of pain'. The news . 6 Katie Dadzie and Nick Knowles tied the knot last month Credit: Getty 6 The star took to Instagram from hospital as she revealed her huge procedure Credit: Instagram / @katieaknowles 6 She showed her thousands of followers around her private bathroom Credit: Instagram / @katieaknowles Strictly Come Dancing star Nick, 62, in a stunning But just over a month after their big day, Katie went to hospital to undergo a hysterectomy procedure. The operation involves the removal of the uterus and womb, but it can also involve other organs such as the ovaries or cervix. A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure which removes a woman's womb and may also involve the removal of other organs, such as the ovaries. READ MORE ON NICK AND KATIE She posted a behind-the-scenes montage video on Instagram as she shared a candid look from her experience. Katie wrote an essay in the caption of the video as she revealed that she has suffered years of pain because she suffered from endometriosis and adenomyosis. In the video, the personality appeared in a gown and compression socks as she elected to have her third operation. She took selfies from the bed as she showed her 98k followers round her private bathroom. Most read in Celebrity After the surgery, she also had several bandages on her stomach as Katie wrote: "I'm 35 and I've just had a hysterectomy. "I've lived with pcos, endometriosis and adenomyosis since Moses wore short pants. And no, it wasn't 'just a bad period.' Nick Knowles' wife Katie reveals truth about why she looked so 'disinterested' at 6-figure wedding after bride shaming "It was constant hospital trips. Multiple laparoscopies. Bleeding through clothes. Vomiting from the pain. Being curled up in bed, missing out on life. "It was extreme bloating that made me look pregnant. It was migraines, stabbing pains in my legs, butt and stomach. "It was chronic fatigue. It was hiding in loos, crying over another ruined day. It was my daughters terrified of getting their periods in case they end up like mummy." She continued: "Years of misdiagnosis & being fobbed off. Told to take painkillers. That it was 'normal.' It wasn't. don't recognise the woman I am when I'm in pain. Because I don't want to remember the days where I was too sore, too tired, too bloated. "I've cried on bathroom floors. I've bled through clothes in public. I've had 3 surgeries. "I've tried every pill, every patch, every hormone tweak. I've been put on a medical menopause just to get through uni. And still… the pain came." "Today I looked through my phone and realised I hardly have any photos of myself like this. "Because I don't recognise the woman I am when I'm in pain. Because I don't want to remember the days where I was too sore, too tired, too bloated." When heavy periods could be something sinister WHEN it comes to periods, there is a textbook definition of normal - but then there is also what a normal period looks like for you. For some (lucky) people, these definitions overlap; for others, they don't. The NHS recognises a 'normal period' as losing between 30 and 60ml, or six to eight teaspoonfuls, each month. A 'heavy' period' is anything more than 80ml. Another, arguably simpler, way of working out whether your period is heavy is to count the number of pads or tampons you use. Having to change a pad or tampon every one to two hours, or emptying a menstrual cup more often than is recommended, is a sign your period is heavy. An Dr Fran Yarlett, GP and medical director at "But if your periods have changed and become heavier, this can signify medical problems." This could be: Early-stage cervical cancer Fibroids (non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb) Perimenopause (the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause) Hypothyroidism (when the thyroid doesn't produce enough hormones Endometriosis (tissue similar to that in the womb grows in other areas of the body) The star admitted that she has no plans to have more children, however she is still going through 'grief' as she felt that that choice was taken away from her. "I didn't want more children, my girls are everything. But that doesn't mean this is easy. Because the choice has been taken from me. "And that grief is real. It feels like something in me has changed, apart from being sans uterus. "Right now, I'm in lots of pain. Im bloated. I'm exhausted. I'm hot. I'm forgetful. I'm hot (see how that works on multiple levels 😂). "I feel raw and less like myself. Less like a woman, if I'm being really honest." "But this was a decision I made to take my life back. To stop surviving and start living again, & have days that aren't defined by pain." Katie also opened up on her raw emotions around the surgery, but she urged social media users to be kind. She added : "This is hopefully the beginning of healing. The beginning of self-love, scars, stitches and all. "And please, if you've made it this far, I ask gently: This is something deeply personal. If you're tempted to leave a judgmental or flippant comment, I'm asking you to just scroll on.

WATCH: Ed Sheeran makes admission about childhood as he brings Westlife on stage during gig
Ed Sheeran admitted that he got to live out a childhood fantasy during a gig in his hometown, as he got to bring Westlife out on stage. The Shape of You singer is playing three gigs in his hometown of Ipswich, heading to Portman Road — the home of Ipswich Town — to three sell out gigs. Of course, night one will always set the tone for the rest of the gigs, and Ed is no stranger to bringing out special guests ranging from Kodaline to Eminem — but no one expected Kian, Shane and Nicky to join him on stage as the four belted out Flying Without Wings. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) Telling his Instagram followers that it was one of his favourite songs ever, Ed explained that he wrote his smash hit Shape of You so he could get in the studio with songwriter Steve Mac, who wrote Flying Without Wings. He also added that when he was a child, he would pretend to be in Westlife, and was able to live that childhood dream when the lads joined him on stage. 'The reason I wrote Shape of You was that I wanted to go in the studio with one of the men that was behind Flying Without Wings [Steve Mac],' Ed wrote. 'One of my favourite songs of all time.' Ed Sheeran admitted that he got to live a childhood fantasy during a gig in his hometown, as he got to bring out Westlife. Pic: Ed Sheeran/Instagram 'I used to pretend I was in @westlife when I was like 9. But tonight I got to actually be a member, playing with Steve and @beogamusic on stage for the homecoming shows at @ipswichtown. Just pure magic. Thank you for flying over lads, will never forget that moment x.' Fans and friends couldn't get enough of the unexpected collab — with fellow Louis Walsh project Jedward commenting that the performance was 'biblical.' 'Yes yes yes. This is amazing,' another commented, while another added '9 year old Ed could have never imagined.' Ed admitted that he would pretend to be in Westlife when he was a young child, living out his fantasy during the gig in his hometown of Ipswich.
