JoJo siwa Hospitalized with Burst Ovarian Cyst, Performs Hours Later
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – JoJo Siwa was briefly hospitalized in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after experiencing severe abdominal pain and difficulty breathing, she revealed in a TikTok video posted Saturday. An ultrasound determined she had suffered a burst ovarian cyst that was bleeding internally. Despite the medical emergency,Siwa performed her scheduled show at the Mall of America later that same day.
Siwa described experiencing “brutal pain” that initially led her to believe she was struggling to breathe. “I was in so much pain, I was literally trying to breathe,” she explained in the video. After receiving pain medication, she “started to feel great” and was even ”dancing in the hospital bed,” joking that she felt “much, much better.”
Doctors informed Siwa the cyst “should stop on its own,” and she plans to follow up with a physician in one week.”Knowing what it was brought a lot of peace of mind,” she shared.
Currently dating ”Celebrity Big Brother UK” co-star Chris Hughes, Siwa acknowledged she is “not 100 percent” but “doing alright” following the incident. She publicly praised the swift action of the hospital’s medical staff. She jokingly speculated the staff’s urgency may have been fueled by having daughters who were fans hoping to attend her show.
In a post accompanying the TikTok video, Siwa expressed gratitude, writing, “Thank you for all the well wishes🤍 grateful for the Doctors and Nurses for working so fast and helping me get back on time, keep it pushing🤍.” Fans responded with messages of support,with many urging her to prioritize rest and recovery. “I know you don’t want to let people down but your health should come first,” one commenter wrote.
