The 23-year-old singer opened up about her painful battle with endometriosis on 'The Doctors.'
Halsey is taking major steps for her future.
The singer opened up about her painful battle with endometriosis on Thursday's episode of The Doctors and revealed that she plans to freeze her eggs.
"I’m 23 years old, and I’m going to freeze my eggs. And when I tell people that, they’re like, 'Why would you do that? You're 23, why do you need freeze your eggs?' Doing an ovarian reserve is important to me because I’m fortunate enough to have that as an option, but I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility, about protecting myself,” the singer expressed. "Reproductive illness is so frustrating because it can really make you feel less of a woman. There's a lot of times when you're sitting at home and you just feel so terrible about yourself."
"You’re sick, you don’t feel sexy, you don’t feel proud. You don’t feel like there’s much hope," she continued. "And so, taking these measures, so that hopefully I can have a bright future and achieve the things that I want to achieve by doing the ovarian reserve is really important.”
Halsey has been suffering from endometriosis -- a painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus grows outside your uterus and causes severe pain -- for quite a few years and even underwent multiple surgeries to help treat her condition.
The "Bad at Love" singer also recalled the moment that she found out she was pregnant a couple of years ago and suffered a miscarriage while performing onstage.
“I was on tour, and I found out I was pregnant. And before I could really figure out what that meant to me and what that meant for my future, for my career, for my life, for my relationship, the next thing I knew I was on stage miscarrying in the middle of my concert," she shared. "And the sensation of looking a couple hundred teenagers in the face while you’re bleeding through your clothes and still having to do the show, and realizing in that moment that I never want to make that choice ever again of doing what I love or not being able to because of this disease."
This isn't the first time that Halsey has opened up about her health struggles. Watch the video below for more.
