Lexi Young Opens Up About Being Hospitalized During her Time on ‘The Bachelor’
Getting candid.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know Lexi Young on Season 28 of “The Bachelor,” where she opened up to Joey Graziadei about her journey with endometriosis.
Lexi eventually decided to self-eliminate from the show because she and Joey were on different timelines when it came to having kids.
Since her time on “The Bachelor,” Lexi has shared more about having stage five endo and how it impacts her even after having surgery.
This week, she revealed to People that she was hospitalized during her time on “The Bachelor.”
She said, “I actually ended up going to the UCLA hospital while I was on the show. I had an ovarian cyst burst because I froze my eggs two weeks before going on the show. And so my ovaries were so enlarged from all the hormones that they hadn’t come back down yet.”
Lexi praised the show’s producers for taking good care of her during the hospitalization and admits that it was difficult navigating having endometriosis while being on the show.
She revealed why she didn’t share this experience on the show, saying, “I wanted to keep it private, but I think it just goes to show it wasn’t the perfect ride. I was dealing with this the entire time. I’m just very headstrong and I powered through it.”
We know Lexi continuing to share her journey with endo will help so many others going through similar struggles.
