She wrote: “Thank you for all the posts about my face! I enjoyed feedback and reflections on my appearance, as all women have for almost 20 years. And you're right, it's baggier than normal right now,” Amy wrote in a new Instagram post that included a poster for the second season of her show.

The comedian then explained that she suffers from endometriosis, adding: “There are some medical and hormonal issues going on in my world right now, but I'm fine.”
The Mayo Clinic described endometriosis as an “often painful condition” that occurs when “tissue that resembles the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.”
Symptoms may include painful menstrual periods, pain during sex, bowel movements or urination, infertility, fatigue and bloating. “I also believe that a woman needs no excuse for her appearance and is not owed any explanation,” Amy continued in her caption.

“But I wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self-love and acceptance of the skin you're in. Like any other woman/person, some days I feel confident and damn good, and other days I want to put a sack over my head,” she explained.

“But I feel strong and beautiful and so proud of this TV show I created. As an author, leading actress and director. Maybe we can focus on that a little bit.”
According to People, Amy confessed in a candid Instagram video from September 2021 that she had her uterus and appendix removed due to endometriosis. “So it's the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus fell out. The doctor found 30 endometriosis lesions, which he removed. He removed my appendix because endometriosis was affecting it. There was a lot of blood in mine.” “I have pain in my uterus and you know, I have bloating,” Amy said.
During an appearance on The Checkup with Dr. David Agus in December 2022, she explained that she felt “like a new person” after the treatment. “I felt like someone had lifted the veil that was over me and I just felt like a different person and like a new mother,” Amy said.
