Lena Dunham Leaves The Hospital After Undergoing Surgery For A Ruptured Ovarian Cyst

Lena Dunham is no longer under a doctor's 24/7 care as she wrote this on Instagram “Thank you so much for the love. I'm safely out of the hospital and recuperating. Your well wishes mean the world. I can't wait to be up and active, and to show my thanks”.

The 29years old creator and star of HBO's Girls has endometriosis, a female reproductive disease that can cause such side effects, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. Her rep said in a statement to E! News on Saturday “Lena Dunham has been very public with her personal bouts with endometriosis. This morning, she suffered from an ovarian cyst rupture and has been taken to the hospital. Lena will be undergoing surgery at an undisclosed hospital. We thank you for your understanding and hope that Lena's privacy will be respected”

Endometriosis is a chronic and often painful disorder in which abnormal tissue grows outside the uterus. It can lead to complications such as fluid-filled cysts on an ovary, as well as infertility.
