Olivia Munn is reflecting on her decision to have a hysterectomy following her cancer diagnosis last year.

I have now had an oophorectomy and hysterectomy, the star shared in an in-depth interview with Vogue . I took out my uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

Munns choice to have life-changing surgery didnt happen without serious consideration.

In March, she revealed that she underwent a double mastectomy last spring after being diagnosed with Luminal B, an aggressive form of breast cancer, months prior.

While her initial surgeries were a success, the star found the medication she needed to take afterwards left her with next-level, debilitating exhaustion which made it hard for her to go about daily life.

After undergoing four surgeries in the span of 10 months, Munn began a regiment of hormone suppressants to make sure her bodys own estrogen would not encourage the growth of nascent cancer cells which remained in her body.

The star, who welcomed son Malcolm with partner John Mulaney in 2021, told the magazine the extreme fatigue from the medications made her feel like she was missing important pieces of her life.
