Amy Schumer revealed she had her uterus and appendix removed because of the toll endometriosis has taken on her body.

The "I Feel Pretty" star shared a video filmed by her husband, Chris Fischer, on Saturday that showed her recovering in a hospital bed while detailing her surgery.

"So, it’s the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out," she told the camera. "The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed. He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.

"There was a lot, a lot of blood in my uterus and I’m, you know, sore and I have some, like, gas pains," Schumer added.
