Tiffany Haddish talks about battling endometriosis
On Thursday, April 25, PEOPLE published an exclusive interview with Haddish. During the conversation, the comedian opened up about her personal health and “that she suffers from endometriosis.” Of note, the Mayo Clinic reports that the condition occurs when “tissue that resembles the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.”
Additionally, the outlet notes that the condition is “often painful.”
“I’m pretty sure the devil is real,” Haddish told the outlet. “Because on the first day of my period, no matter what happens, the devil goes into overdrive. I feel like my life is being turned upside down… [I] be like, ‘Am I dying?'”
Additionally, Haddish explained that she went to the doctor in November 2023 because she was constantly fainting.
“She gave me something because I kept fainting. I don’t talk about it, but people just think I’ll sleep anywhere but I’ll pass out because I’ll be in so much pain,” the comedian explained.
The comedian talks about her eight miscarriages
The 44-year-old explained that her battle with the disease became so severe that she had to undergo extensive surgery. Haddish said the pain felt like someone was “kicking” her in the back. Additionally, she shared that she recently learned that she had “extra layers of endo” “hanging down” from her uterus.
“They shaved it, I had to do a fibroid [removal] thing,” Haddish explained. “I just want them to stay out of it [there].”
But despite the extensive surgery, the side effects of miscarriages were the most “devastating,” according to the comedian. Furthermore, she revealed that the last time she had such an experience was last year.
“It’s so damn devastating,” Haddish shared. “Every time I find out I’m pregnant, I think, ‘Don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do anything.’ Even if I don’t really want it [the baby]I’m still trying to give him a chance.”
Tiffany Haddish recently revealed THESE personal milestones
As The Shade Room previously reported, Haddish also revealed to PEOPLE that she has been sober and celibate for six months now.
“I’m very sober,” she explained. “…When I sit back and look at my life, everything crazy happened because someone or myself had alcohol in their system.
Haddish explained that she was more prone to sexual behavior when she was under the influence.
“With alcohol [my mind] would just be like, “You’re horny, let’s just do it.” [Now] I say ‘No, no’.”
In HER interview with PEOPLE published April 25, Haddish explained that she is now dating “multiple men.” Additionally, she shared that “a part” of her still wants to be a mother.
“I have all this love, I should give it to someone who can grow with it,” she said.
