Ella Henderson shares endometriosis diagnosis in bid to 'spread awareness'

- 

Singer Ella Henderson has said that after “years of struggling” with health problems she has been diagnosed with endometriosis.

The 29-year old, who found fame on the TV singing competition, The X Factor, in 2012, said that she was diagnosed in January after a laparoscopy revealed “severe endometriosis” behind her uterus and scar tissue affecting her bladder and bowel.

According to the NHS website, endometriosis is caused when cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body.
