The 26-year-old shared her “excruciating pain” with her two million YouTube subscribers as a result of her ongoing battle with endometriosis.

What signs and symptoms cause endometriosis?

Raquel Monroy, a specialist in fertility and women’s health nutrition, spoke to the Manchester Evening News about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of this condition.

The expert continued, “Endometriosis occurs when cells that normally line the uterus grow outside of it.” There is nowhere for these cells to escape, which causes a number of painful and incapacitating symptoms, in contrast to the cells that leave the body as a period.

• Chronic discomfort
• Fatigue/a lack of enthusiasm
• Depression/isolation
• Infertility
• painful menstruation
• After or during sex
• Symptoms of painful bowel movements
• Back pain
• Leg pain
• Heavy periods, whether clot-free or unclotted.

What does the NHS

The NHS advises: “See a GP if you have symptoms of endometriosis, especially if they’re having a big impact on your life. It may help to write down your symptoms before seeing a doctor.”

If they believe you have endometriosis, they may suggest treatments.

“If these do not help, they may refer you to a gynecologist who will perform additional tests, such as an MRI or laparoscopy,” they say.

On their website, the NHS lists additional treatments that aim to lessen the painful symptoms and complications of endometriosis and surgery.

Michelle Keegan left fans feeling ‘so sad’ as she announced the ‘last hurrah’ of hit show Brassic. The former Coronation Street actress, 38, has portrayed Erin Croft in the beloved Sky comedy series since its debut in 2019.

However, the long-running role is coming to an end now that it has been confirmed that the current series will be the last one. Many people said they were “not ready to say goodbye” while others struggled to accept the announcement.

Michelle, who rose to stardom in Coronation Street, was equally heartbroken that filming had wrapped on the ‘iconic’ show, which chronicles a group of skint working-class mates residing in the fictional village of Hawley.

She previously told the Daily Star, “It’s really depressing and feels like home. I would leave Brassic each year to finish other projects before returning home because it was always the same every year. Because it was like seeing all your friends again, it was the nicest job.

Michelle, who is presently shooting for a fresh ITV drama, The Blame, took to Instagram on Wednesday to post some snaps from her stint on Brassic.

She wrote, “The last hurrah!!!” in the caption. BRASSIC FINALE @skytv debuts tomorrow.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the comments section was flooded with people’s opinions of the series’ conclusion.

“Icons,” one user wrote. Can’t wait to say goodbye, but I’m not yet. Can’t believe this! – a second supporter said. Loved each season.

A third fan said, “Hands down, the best thing on television!!! Not ready to conclude” While another wrote, “Absolutely loved this series’ ending, so sad.”

Michelle, a mother-of-one, expressed her sadness over the end of the beloved television series earlier this month. She wrote, “It’s really sad and feels like home,” in a haughty Instagram post. I would leave Brassic each year to finish other projects before returning home because it was always the same every year. Because it was like seeing all your friends again, it was the nicest job.

The show was shot in various North American cities, including Michelle’s hometown of Manchester. It’s not often that Michelle seemed to enjoy being able to travel back to the north for a shoot each year after moving from Epping, Essex.

The comedy, which centers on a group of friends in a lost town in the North of England, received rave reviews, and its lead actor Joseph Gilgun received numerous BAFTA nominations.

William Shatner has spoken out after it was reported the 94 year old was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday.

The 94-year-old Hollywood legend’s blood sugar levels are thought to have been the result of a medical emergency. The actor reportedly called 911 after fleeing his Los Angeles home yesterday, where paramedics transported him to a hospital.

A day later, William took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to tell fans “I’m perfectly fine.” The Hollywood star, who has already been met with an outpouring of online support since the health scare, wrote, “I over indulged. I thank you all for caring but I’m perfectly fine.”

The actor also included a picture of himself from the Canadian television series Murdoch Mysteries’ “Marked Twain.” Following Elvis’ death at the end of four months of constipation, harrowing details of his autopsy were revealed.

Under photo his line read, “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!” This is a famous quote from American author Mark Twain which was his response after a newspaper report in 1897 claimed that he was dead or gravely ill, reports the Mirror US.

The beloved actor was taken to the hospital after a seemingly unresolved blood sugar issue at his Los Angeles residence, as a result of this update. He was examined and treated there by paramedics who transported him in an ambulance to a nearby hospital.

Although he didn’t go into great detail about his health issues, “blood sugar issues” could indicate either reduced blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) or elevated blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). The body doesn’t use or produce enough insulin to manage blood glucose levels, which causes both conditions.

Numerous admirers expressed their satisfaction and best wishes at the positive health update posted beneath William’s post. “Thank you Captain,” one follower said. The crew was concerned. Another supporter remarked, “Glad you’re okay, Bill.” I’m willing to wager that you will be at least 100 years old.

A third phrase was “I didn’t believe them.” You have not yet arrived for the big Academy Awards ceremony in the sky or whatever else.

Someone else made the statement, “Cent’anni!” as my Italian ancestors might put it. Happy to hear that you are all right, but I’ve always thought that’s a great way to describe you whenever you’re right. “Perfectly fine” is my motto.

William maintains that he is healthy, but he has experienced a number of medical issues, including having to battle the severe skin cancer stage 4 cancer.

He later recovered from the illness with immunotherapy, which he revealed in 2024.

He’s also previously disclosed living with tinnitus – a buzzing in the ears – for more than 30 years after a deafening on-set blast during Star Trek production. This follows a tragic incident where a zookeeper was mauled by a lion for 15 minutes, with staff revealing why no one intervened.

One star sign indicates that someone is taking advantage of another, which initiates some modifications.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Today’s climate is not conducive to launching new initiatives, negotiating deals, or making expensive purchases. You may be reminded to take into account the financial ramifications of anything you do by a friend or coworker who is more practical and cautious. You must consent to a later agreement to hold off any money transactions.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Consider the potential outcomes before accepting more responsibility or agreeing to deal with urgent matters. Do you have enough to handle all of these extra commitments, or do you already have enough on your plate? It might be wiser to suggest that someone else take on these tasks if you have even the slightest doubt about it.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You have the ability to effect some long-awaited changes. Because you have been planning this for a while and you are doing it, ignore anyone who accuses you of acting on impulse. You will demonstrate that change can be beneficial when well thought out.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

Are you taking advantage of your kindness by lending money to a friend or coworker even though it may not seem like a big hassle? Someone who approaches you for assistance may not always be as kind as they are now. They might later reject your assistance.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

When it comes to your financial situation, knowledge is a form of power. Look into potential business opportunities in the fields of banking, mortgages, loans, and property. There will also be a lot of attention to insurance and inheritance issues. Gather the necessary data before acting.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Have you ever given your own well-being any consideration, despite your best efforts to address your family’s health needs? Include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet to make mealtime rituals more peaceful, as opposed to grabbing a quick snack every few moments.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

You ought to experience some financial and business success. You have always had original ideas. Use this in your day-to-day activities. You can benefit from having a fresh perspective on a work environment. More will be desired by those in power.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

You don’t seem to be overly enthusiastic about the tasks you currently have to complete. With your closed eyes, you could do some things. Therefore, success is achieved without exerting a lot of effort. You can dedicate the entire evening to a loved one because tasks will be finished quickly.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Your personal details are being made public. You were disappointed by someone you trusted. You’d never have anticipated them to be so deceitful, so you’ll come to regret it quite a bit. You’ll have to be much more cautious with your words and who you say it to in the future.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

You will get accurate responses to your queries. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your future dreams when you hang out with friends. Someone with a lot of experience will guide you in the right direction. Don’t take any action without taking into account all options, even that.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Despite some disappointing news, you continue to be optimistic. There have been hints that soon there will be a salary increase. Your superiors will announce your pay increase today, but it will be later than expected.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Your typical day will completely be completely ruined by one unanticipated phone call or text message. You won’t be surprised by anything that is happening. There is nothing you can do about it despite the fact that it isn’t what you expected or wanted. Whether or not you want these modifications to occur will be.

There’s continued speculation about a possible romance between Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun this week. The pair are rumoured to be dating after having bonded at a star-studded wedding earlier in the summer.

Euphoria star Sydney, 28, and record executive Scooter, 44, are said to have got to know each other at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez. The nuptials were held in Italy back in June, with a host of celebrities having been in Venice for the occasion three months ago.

More recently, it has been rumoured that Sydney, who has starred in films like Anyone but You (2023), is dating Scooter, who has managed acts like Justin Bieber. The ongoing speculation has now been further fuelled this week.

PageSix reports that White Lotus star Sydney and Scooter have fuelled the romance rumours with an “intimate sighting” recently. The pair are said to have been spotted out together for a meal in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

Yesterday, Celebrity gossip page Deuxmoi shared a photo on Instagram that’s thought to show them at a restaurant. In an apparent submission that was included in the post, someone told the outlet: “[They are] 1000% dating.”

It’s been reported by PageSix that Sydney and Scooter, who’s also known for an apparent dispute with Taylor Swift over master recordings, bonded at Jeff and Lauren’s wedding. They are said to have later begun a romance.

A source reported to the outlet earlier this month that they had been “casually dating.” The source, according to the article, claimed that the rumored relationship between Sydney and Scooter was “still new.”

Scooter is said to have attended Sydney’s birthday party earlier this month, and she is said to have marked the occasion in Lake Powell. They reportedly shared a weekend together for Labor Day.

The Sun suggested in an article published last week that their apparent romance appears to be going from “casual to serious” lately. Speaking about them, a source told the outlet: “Sydney and Scooter’s romance is hotting up.”

They continued, saying Scooter had just a few weeks prior joined Sydney at birthday parties. He quietly visited her over the weekend to celebrate her birthday in Lake Powell, according to them.

His presence, according to the source, is a “big deal.” They added that “she’s going full steam ahead and [her] being there for her birthday is a big deal and a sign this could be the real deal” (although the surprise union might have raised eyebrows).

Fans have been given a health update from the Mavericks’ singer Raul Malo this week following his cancer diagnosis last year, with him saying that ‘things have taken a turn’

A musician has told fans that “things have taken a turn” in an update on his health after being diagnosed with cancer. Raul Malo shared the news in a post on social media earlier this week ahead of his latest round of treatment.

Raul, now 60, who is the lead vocalist for the Mavericks, announced that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer last year. He has since shared that he’s had treatment including chemotherapy and surgery following the diagnosis.

He shared the latest update on his health in a post on Instagram yesterday. The Grammy Award winner said that he’s developed LMD, which can be used to represent leptomeningeal disease. It’s understood to be where cancer spreads to tissue layers in the brain and spinal cord.

Alongside footage of himself playing his guitar, Raul wrote in the post: “Dear Friends, I want to update you all on my health, as things have taken a turn. As it goes with cancer, it’s a very unpredictable and indiscriminatory disease.

“I’ve developed something called LMD, which stands for ‘get this s**t out of my head’. Treatment for this is radiation, which I will start tomorrow. We will probably jump into some chemo, and are even looking at alternative therapies.”

He continued: “But it’s time to take your words to heart of resting & recovering, so that’s what I’m going to do. Unfortunately, this does mean all shows going forward are canceled, but we’ll continue doing cool projects, releasing live recordings, merchandise, Trovador and so forth.”

Raul added: “I want to thank Dwight Yoakam, his band, and crew for their kindness and understanding this year, and sorry we couldn’t finish the tour the way we planned. Hang on to your tickets for the Ryman in December, as we are planning something special there, and hope to announce that very soon.”

The musician went on to tell fans that he is not “alone,” before praising his family. He said: “But I want to let everybody know, I am in no way alone, or scared. I have an amazing wife and boys, wonderful family, team, road crew, band, friends and fans. I don’t even have enough words to describe the love and support that I’m getting right now.”

Raul said in a message to friends who have reached out that he has read all of them but hasn’t been able to reply to everyone. He added in the post this week: “But your love, prayers, and well wishes have not gone unnoticed.”

He continued: “We don’t know what this will look like a couple months from now, but we are going into it like we have with everything else. Full steam ahead. Fight, recover, rest, repeat. I want to thank you all for your incredible support through all this, & sorry about the cancellations but we have no choice anymore.”

Raul encouraged his fans to find “kindness and empathy” wherever they can. He said: “Humans are alright, even if you don’t believe it from what you see on TV.” The singer, who was already due to have hernia surgery in January, concluded by saying that he will keep them updated on his health.
