New Delhi:
Actress Lili Reinhart, on Friday, revealed that she has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC). It is a chronic disorder that happens due to an inflamed or irritated bladder wall.
Lili Reinhart has shared pictures on Instagram documenting the hardest part of 2024. The actress shared a photo of herself with the text — “5 am in a German hospital for a possible bladder/UTI infection” – written on it.
Her note attached to the album read, “I feel it’s important to show an honest glimpse at what last year was like for me, when dealing with my health issues. I’m so thankful for @selfmagazine and @julia_c_sullivan for giving me the space to share what I’ve been going through. Being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis while simultaneously searching for answers about a mysterious autoimmunity/inflammatory disease made 2024 the hardest year of my life.”
Lili Reinhart added what made her talk about her health condition. She said, “I was inspired to talk about this after my grandmother was ignored by doctors for months when exhibiting clear symptoms of cancer- and it was only after her own strength and advocation for herself that she was given a blood test that diagnosed her. And by then, the cancer had spread.”
On what she has learnt, Lili Reinhart said, “The most important thing I have taken away from this experience is the absolute need to advocate for your own health. Do not let a doctor gaslight you or diminish your pain. I hope the men & women out there struggling to find answers feel even the slightest bit seen by my experience.”
Lili Reinhart is known for her work in the hit Netflix show Riverdale. She played the role of Betty Cooper. Earlier, Lili had informed her fans about her alopecia diagnosis. She shared a video on TikTok with the text, “Was just diagnosed with alopecia in the midst of a major depressive episode.” She can be seen lip-syncing the audio of a man who says, “I’m pushed beyond the limits of what a person should be pushed to endure.”
“Acabou de ser diagnosticado com alopecia no meio de um episódio depressivo grave.”
“Terapia de luz vermelha é minha nova melhor amiga.”
