Francia Raísa Shares Diagnosis After Her Health Took a “Serious Turn”
Francia Raisa isn’t living a secret life.
Rather, the actress has always been open about her reproductive health, including her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis—and what’s followed.
“In the past two weeks, things took a serious turn,” the Secret Life of the American Teenager alum wrote on Instagram June 26. “After years of confusing symptoms and seeing several doctors and taking different tests to get NO real answers, I found a new gynecologist who told me that I also have SIBO and endometriosis, which puts me at a very high risk of having complicated pregnancies in the future.”
SIBO—in other words, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth—occurs when there’s an abnormal increase of often uncommon bacteria, whereas endometriosis is an often painful condition in which tissue grows outside of the uterus.
For the 35-year-old, the news came as a complete shock, especially given the number of specialists she visited over the years.
