Taking to her Instagram page, the wildlife conservationist posted a picture of herself wearing a shirt bearing the name of her family's zoo. She accompanied the image with a caption that read:
"Question time. Writing this with my sweetheart family feeling very grateful to be 6 Weeks post op from my Endometriosis surgery. Healing everyday and looking forward to all that lies ahead."
She noted that people had reached out to hear about her journey and expressed her willingness to share her story. In conclusion, she stated, "I would love to answer your questions and share anything you want to know. Comment below, and I'll record a video with my entire story for you."
Her willingness excited her followers; one asked about finding a doctor who took her condition seriously before expressing gratitude for her vulnerability.
Another person shared their fears about their upcoming procedure, adding, "Thank you so much for being brave and open in sharing your surgery. You're such an inspiration!"
This user also asked, "How frequently were you in pain?" Before pointing out, "Doctors sometimes shut down inquiries about endometriosis claiming it is cyclical. So daily pain couldn't be it."
Others who had no inquiries chose to praise her, like this person who wrote, "So so proud of you @bindisueirwi, what an amazing and strong woman you are! ❤️ You will inspire many other women to be as strong and positive and more proactive regarding health."
Another admirer stated, "Once again, an absolute queen and incredible advocate for our community ❤️."
Last month, the mother-of-one gave her fans an update on her health after undergoing major surgery. She took to social media to share her recovery journey one week after revealing that she had been experiencing its symptoms for over a decade.
The photo she shared showed her holding a bouquet of red roses while sitting in a bed with a white blanket draped over her body. With her eyes closed and a goofy smile on her face, Irwin sported a black top, a messy bun, and a makeup-free look. In the caption, she wrote:
"Healing ✨I have spent the week reading your kind words and stories of strength through your own experiences with endometriosis."
Expressing her gratitude to those who have shared their endometriosis journeys with her, the 24-year-old revealed that she was starting to see a new version of herself emerge on the path toward improved health. The Australian television personality stated her eagerness to direct her energy toward her family and her conservation work, which she was deeply passionate about.
