The glam businesswoman, 34, opted for the operation after struggling with years of pain from endometriosis yet 12 weeks in, her recovery has sadly suffered a setback.
She told how she was “gutted” about the turn of events and detailed how her cervix, which was stitched up from the previous procedure, had burst open.
Katie hailed it “the most terrifying day I’ve ever had” and detailed the pain, which almost saw her pass out.
Along with uploading images showing her in her hospital bed to Instagram, she added in her caption: “The bit where they took my cervix and sealed it up ruptured which basically meant my insides went rogue, with crippling abdominal pains, difficulty breathing, incredibly painful gas, blood like Moses parting the Red Sea, fluid, and even my bowel where it definitely didn’t belong.
“Saturday when it happened I was in so much pain I couldn’t move or walk and just cried on my own on the kitchen from 2-5.30am. I nearly passed out from the pain.
“Bar the exhaustion and menopause bit, the recovery was finally going well. I was pretty much back to normal – although I started working the day after my hysterectomy, so that clearly didn’t help.
“I was rushed in for emergency surgery. I thought it would be lots of waiting round, but they did blood tests, a CT scan, and had me up & ready for surgery in under 10 hours
“There was talk of my bowel having been perforated, having to have open surgery & another lumbar puncture. I had every situation running through my mind and it was terrifying.
“They had 3 plans for surgery, and two of them were huge. A team of 6 surgeons and 2 anaesthetists looked after me, and made me feel slightly more at ease, during what was the most painful & terrifying day I’ve ever had.
“Thankfully the surgeons managed to get me back into theatre, fix everything and stitch me back together.”
Wearing a grey jumper and propped up by hospital pillows, she added the update: “I’m very sore, bruised & exhausted, & so gutted that my recovery journey starts all over again now.
“But thankful it’s fixed, because the pain on Saturday night was excruciating!”
HEALTH WOE
Katie previously described how she had been subject to “years of pain” from her women’s health issues.
When heavy periods could be something sinister
WHEN it comes to periods, there is a textbook definition of normal – but then there is also what a normal looks like for you.
For some (lucky) people, these definitions overlap; for others, they don’t.
The recognises a ‘normal period’ as losing between 30 and 60ml, or six to eight teaspoonfuls, each month. A ‘heavy’ period’ is anything more than 80ml.
Another, arguably simpler, way of working out whether your period is heavy is to count the number of pads or tampons you use.
Having to change a pad or tampon every one to two hours, or emptying a menstrual cup more often than is recommended, is a sign your period is heavy.
An NHS test can also help reveal whether your periods are heavy and if it’s worth seeing your GP.
Dr Fran Yarlett, GP and medical director at The Lowdown , said: “Heavy periods can be normal for some people.
“But if your periods have changed and become heavier, this can signify medical problems.” This could be:
- Early-stage cervical cancer
- Fibroids (non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb)
- Perimenopause (the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause)
- Hypothyroidism (when the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones
- Endometriosis (tissue similar to that in the womb grows in other areas of the body)
At the time, the mum of two also spoke candidly about the “grief” she felt for not being able to have more children as a result of the surgery.
Just weeks after saying I Do with BBC star Nick, Katie was admitted to hospital to undergo the complex hysterectomy procedure.
A is a surgical procedure which removes the womb. It is more common for women in their 40s and 50s but can be carried out in response to a range of serious health conditions.
Katie, who has daughters Savannah, nine, and Alex, six, from a previous relationship, posted a behind-the-scenes montage video on as she shared a candid look from her experience.
She revealed that she has suffered years of pain because she suffered from (PCOS), and .
In the video, the personality appeared in a gown and compression socks as she elected to have her third operation.
