Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Hungarian model Barbara Palvin revealed Sunday that she's been diagnosed with endometriosis and underwent surgery to treat the uterine condition.

In an Instagram post featuring photos of her hospitalization and recovery, Palvin said she's dealt with difficulties during menstruation for years, including fatigue, pain, heavy and irregular flow, and sleepless nights.

"I thought this was just how it works for me," she said. "But recently I've been advised to seek out an endometriosis specialist to see whether my symptoms are caused by that."

Three months after a visit with a specialist, Palvin had an operation.

"Since then I finally experienced a period that was easier, and now I know the difference," she wrote. "It helped me a lot, and I'm grateful I did it."
