Anitta, forced to cancel concerts due to an important operation: “It was that or die”

Bad news for the successful and renowned Brazilian singer Anitta. The 29-year-old will have to interrupt her career as a musical star to undergo an operation that will prevent her from fulfilling the concert schedule that she had planned for the coming weeks. The artist announced this Friday on social networks that she has been diagnosed with endometriosis, a disorder that has caused her severe pain for more than nine years. The Brazilian will have to undergo surgery to try to put an end to these unbearable pains.

“The pain is so strong that you want to do everything to make it go away,” he began by explaining on his Twitter account. “It’s like this… From America to Europe without sleeping because the pain is stronger than anything. You can’t focus on a book, on a movie, on anything. You just go to Google to know how to solve this shit. And the lack of information that women have is incredible”, continued the artist, born in Rio de Janeiro.

After these words, some of his followers suggested that he might still have a bacterium that would have caused a urinary disease. However, she, somewhat annoyed and angry, assured that she did not have said bacteria, and that her pain could not come from something as simple as this. The singer claimed the little lack of information that women have regarding issues like these.

The young woman hastened to tell what was the cause of her ailment. “In some cases, endometriosis can cause infertility or abortions. The more time goes by without treatment or surgery, the more risky it will be. That unbearable pain during menstruation can also be because of that. These days I have made a show dancing with one leg,” he assured. And it is that Anitta has assured that she has tried “everything that all types of doctors have told her” for almost a decade, using “all the tricks, advice, techniques of doctors and Google.”


All these resources had no effect, and now the singer finally breathes easy and knows the causes of her severe pain. Anitta already has a date for her surgery, and that is why she has taken the opportunity to demand that women have easier access to information of this type in order to be treated as quickly and efficiently as possible. “Here is my call to obtain more information for women. More access, more general interest in the care of the female body so that we can be free and be able to take care of ourselves,” settled the Brazilian.

Endometriosis is a painful disorder in which the endometrium grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis most commonly affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the lining of the pelvis, and can cause bleeding, infertility, or dysmenorrhea. Despite the fact that endometriosis is a pathology that affects between 10 and 15 percent of women in Spain, according to The Medical Gazette, continues to be an unknown disease with a diagnostic delay. The average delay is between seven and eight years.
