Despite her symptoms improving after the initial surgery, some ‘heartbreaking blows’ in recent years meant she had to go under the knife once more at Cromwell Hospital in London.<\/p>\n

Woolhouse shared a picture<\/a> of her giving a thumbs-up in a hospital gown as well as a snap of her patched-up stomach on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“The comeback is always greater than the setback,” Woolhouse wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n

“It’s been quite the ride the past seven days. Last week I had my second laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis in seven years, it was done by the surgeon controlling a robot which blows my mind.<\/p>\n

“It ended up being a slightly chunkier op than I’d bargained for but all okay in the end.”<\/p>\n

Woolhouse stated getting a diagnosis for the disease, which affects one in ten women, can be a ‘long, emotional and painful process’ and it can be ‘incredibly debilitating to live with.’<\/p>\n

She added: “Sending love to anyone who has endometriosis or if you are on the long path to a diagnosis don’t give up.”<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old declared she’ll ‘rest and recoup and take some steady walks in the sunshine’ as she recovers.<\/p>\n

She also added watching Married at First Sight on her iPad had been an enjoyable post-surgery comfort.<\/p>\n

Several figures from the sporting world took to the comments section to offer their support.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports F1 reporter Natalie Pinkham said: “Sending love and healing hugs my darling.”<\/p>\n

Ex-England cricket captain Michael Vaughan added: “Get well soon x.”<\/p>\n

She presented the historic all-women’s card at Royal Albert Hall on March 7, headlined by Lauren Price’s win over Natasha Jonas.<\/p>\n
