Overview
- Doctors found an 11-centimeter abdominal mass, and her stepfather, an OB-GYN, performed immediate surgery after ER staff considered waiting for an oncologist.
- The operation revealed a ruptured ovarian cyst that had leaked about 1.5 liters of blood and exposed endometriotic tissue, which was removed.
- She received blood transfusions following the surgery and learned it was her first diagnosis of endometriosis.
- Mansi says multiple prior visits had minimized severe pain, heavy bleeding, and nausea as a possible IUD issue, a bad period, or the flu, and she continued working through intense symptoms.
- She reports being more stable after managing the condition and freezing her eggs, and she is directing a March 16 General Hospital episode that includes an endometriosis storyline.
