Francia Raisa candidly spoke up a serious health issue of her life which might cause her to have complications in pregnancies. After having an interesting chat with American Vice President Kamala Harris about women’s rights and health, the How I Met Your Father star, shared a lengthy Instagram post June 25th about her recent health diagnosis that will greatly impact her future. Raisa’s health has always been the talk of the town after she donated her kidney to Selena Gomez in 2017. Let’s delve into the entire details of this story.
Francia Raisa said she has a very high risk of having complicated pregnancies
The 35-year-old who has previously opened up about her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis in 2023 wrote in the post, “In the past two weeks, things took a serious turn. After years of confusing symptoms and seeing several doctors and taking different tests to get no real answers, I found a new gynecologist who told me that I also have SIBO and endometriosis, which puts me at a very high risk of having complicated pregnancies in the future. I was in shock.”
As per the details of the Mayo Clinic, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) “occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract,” and Endometriosis is “an often-painful condition in which tissue that is similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.”
Later on she continues, “What strikes me the most is that it’s not enough that I take care of my health and body. With all the advances in medicine, there still isn’t enough research being done into women’s specific health care to really understand how women like me are able to ensure our opportunity to have a healthy life and family.Instead, our rights as women, including access to critical (and sometimes necessary) health care, are being attacked – and it pisses me off! With all that I’ve learned about my own health these past weeks.”
Moreover, addressing her conversation with Madam Vice President she noted, “I didn’t hesitate when VP @kamalaharris asked me to participate in a fireside chat in Arizona to discuss women’s rights and reproductive freedoms to mark the two year anniversary of that awful Dobbs decision. (We also snuck in a quick chat about immigration, which I know is an issue that is important to so many of us.) I needed to hear about her work on this issue and where we all needed to focus our advocacy The neglect we already face as women in health care is insane, and I can’t stand by while laws are passed that limit our rights and freedom – from women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, to access to education and immigration.”
The actress concluded her post by acknowledging the VP for listening to her concern, “Thank you to VP @kamalaharris and my co-moderator @atovar_az for the candid conversation. Let’s keep up the fight, people – if not for you, for your mothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, best friends, and all the women in your life who deserve to live with dignity and respect!”
