Good Morning America

Olympic gold-medal-winning figure skater Tara Lipinski is opening up about undergoing endometriosis surgery in hopes of breaking down barriers around the condition that affects millions of women. "To me, it feels like a hush hush topic that women feel they just need to tough out," the 38-year-old wrote. Endometriosis, a medical condition whereby tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, may affect more than 11 percent of American women between the ages of 15 and 44, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health (OWH).
