Dancing with the Stars’ Lacey Schwimmer Diagnosed with Endometriosis
Like Dancing with the Stars’ pro Julianne Hough, Lacey Schwimmer was just diagnosed with endometriosis as well.
Julianne Hough is currently off of Dancing with the Stars for two weeks after a surgical procedure.
While Lacey Schwimmer just learned of the diagnosis from her doctor on Wednesday, Schwimmer, who coaches Lance Bass, will not have to take a break from the show.
Lacey Schwimmer told The Insider, “A few days ago, I started feeling very shaky, very weak, and I had awful cramps … I didn’t really know what was going on. I went to go get checked out today and I actually have the beginning onset of what Julianne has.”
Endometriosis is a painful medical condition that affects 5 percent to 10 percent of women.
Schwimmer commented, “It hurts very bad. Right now I’m insanely weak, and the room is spinning. I have medication that is taking care of it. We caught it at a very good time.”
