Elyse Myers Gets Candid About Her Hysterectomy: A Journey From Chronic Pain to Profound Relief

Elyse Myers, the beloved internet personality known affectionately as "The Internet's Best Friend," recently opened up in a candid TikTok video about a deeply personal and transformative health journey. At 33 years old, she revealed to her millions of followers that she underwent a hysterectomy roughly a year ago, a decision that finally brought an end to over five years of relentless, debilitating pain.

For what felt like an eternity, Myers endured an excruciating daily reality. She described experiencing such severe symptoms that she would "bleed out" daily, needing not just a tampon and a pad, but also an adult diaper – and still, somehow, bleeding through everything. The pain wasn't just physical; it was so intense it often led to vomiting and near blackouts. Can you imagine living with that kind of constant suffering?

She tried everything, truly, in search of relief. Various treatments, different approaches – but nothing seemed to work. Ultimately, the only solution that offered a definitive path to freedom from this torment was a hysterectomy, which involved the removal of both her uterus and cervix. The procedure took place around October 2025, just before her highly anticipated book tour.

It's hard to believe, but just three weeks after undergoing such a significant surgery, Myers was already out on the road promoting her illustrated memoir, "That's a Great Question, I'd Love to Tell You." She vividly recounted sitting on stage with ice packs on her lap, a testament to her dedication and resilience. But the payoff? Absolute peace. She's now completely pain-free, and it's clear how much this newfound freedom means to her.

Interestingly, her ovaries were left intact, which means she still experiences ovulation and those familiar premenstrual symptoms like acne – but without any of the agonizing bleeding. In fact, she shared that her complexion has cleared up, and her sleep has dramatically improved since the surgery. Living in the Omaha area with her husband and two sons, Myers has truly found a new lease on life.

Beyond this incredible journey, Myers has always been remarkably transparent about her life. She's openly discussed her diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and anxiety, as well as her experience with postpartum depression after her first child. And if that wasn't enough, her second son, Oliver, was born with a ventricular septal defect, a "hole in his heart," though he is now happily healthy. Her vulnerability, whether as an author, comedian, musician, or social media influencer, is what truly resonates with so many, making her authentic voice a beacon of strength for others facing their own battles.
