Maryse, a former two-time Women’s Champion in WWE and the wife of The Miz, recently shared a shocking and harrowing story on her Instagram account. Despite her glamorous persona in the wrestling world, Maryse revealed the harrowing health struggles she has been facing, shedding light on the importance of advocating for one’s health.
For months, Maryse battled severe abdominal issues, experiencing swelling, distention, fatigue, and gastrointestinal problems. Despite seeking medical help from numerous doctors, she struggled to receive a proper diagnosis for her condition, which took a toll on her physical and emotional well-being.
After undergoing extensive testing, Maryse received a diagnosis that was initially unexpected: Serous Borderline tumors, a rare pre-cancerous condition affecting the ovaries. The prognosis for this condition, if left untreated, was grim, highlighting the urgency of Maryse’s situation.
In her time of need, Maryse found solace in the care of Dr. Thais Aliabadi, an OB-GYN in Los Angeles, who played a crucial role in her diagnosis and treatment journey. Dr. Aliabadi’s attentive listening and unwavering advocacy for further investigation were instrumental in uncovering the root cause of Maryse’s symptoms.
Maryse underwent laparoscopic surgery with Dr. Aliabadi, initially suspected to address Endometriosis disease. However, the surgery revealed the presence of Serous Borderline tumors, altering the course of Maryse’s treatment plan.
Despite the daunting prospect of undergoing a hysterectomy, Maryse remains determined to fight the disease and remain strong throughout her treatment journey. Her story serves as a testament to the importance of advocating for one’s health and not giving up until a proper diagnosis and treatment plan are found.
As Maryse embarks on her journey towards recovery, our thoughts and prayers are with her. Her resilience and determination inspire us all to prioritize our health and persevere in the face of adversity.
”Here’s a superhero I want to take the time to highlight. Her name is Thais Aliabadi, Oby-Gyn, in LA. She saved my life. I couldn’t be more blessed to have crossed paths in life with this brilliant, uber talented, patient, attentive and genuinely caring woman!
A little background on what happened; I had been suffering from severe abdominal distention and swelling to the point where I would look 6 months pregnant. Lots of GI issues, including sibo, multiple rounds of antibiotics, extreme fatigue and just wasn’t feeling like extreme fatigue and just wasn’t feel like myself!”
”For the past year, my symptoms would come in flare ups and it progressively got worse – it became chronic. I saw countless doctors in different fields, but no diagnosis. No one could tell me what’s happening. I went down an incredibly long list of Utesting, from colonoscopy/endoscopyipill cam endoscopy, mri’s, ultrasounds, ct scans, blood tests just to name a few and often would be told that its probably hormonal and or just something by body is allergic too. I even had my entire house tested for mold. I was told to let it go – that it would figure itself out with time. That I’m too impatient and making myself crazy.”
”From the start when I met Thais at her office in LA, she listened to my story, truly listened. She heard me (a doctor’s quality that makes a tremendous difference) and agreed that we have to push to get to the bottom of this. She always said “No one knows your body better than you.” She proposed we go in there and find out. I was ready. A week ago I went into surgery with Dr. Thais. She performed a Laparoscopy surgery for what he thought at the time was potentially’ Endometriosis disease”
Maryse’s journey of battling health struggles highlights the importance of perseverance and advocacy in the face of adversity. Her courage in sharing her story serves as a reminder to prioritize health and seek medical attention for unusual symptoms. As Maryse continues her treatment journey, we stand with her in solidarity, wishing her a full and speedy recovery.
