Lena Dunham reflects on her hysterectomy 9 months later
Lena Dunham is commemorating the nine-month mark since her hysterectomy with a series of nude photos on Instagram.
The "Girls" creator posted three photos of her strategically censored naked body, along with a message about her recovery.
Dunham underwent the surgery last year after a lengthy struggle with endometriosis, a painful disorder in which tissue grows outside the uterus.
“Today is National Leathercraft Day, National Relaxation Day and National Lemon Meringue Pie Day. It's also the 9 month anniversary of my hysterectomy," the actress wrote.
"I've never celebrated the 9 month anniversary of anything and I realized last night why that number feels so funny - I won't ever do it the way I planned to,” she continued, referencing the fact that she will never be able to carry a child.
