Danielle has been documenting her health on Patreon and recently shared that she is to undergo a surgery for hysterectomy. The Bump ‘n’ Grind Academy owner suffers from an incredibly painful condition called uterine fibroids. They are non-cancerous growths that appear in the uterus and are made of uterine muscles. As per The Sun, these growths can cause the belly to bulge thereby pressing on other organs and increasing the pelvic pressure. It can also lead to difficulty in passing bowel movements and induce frequent urination.

She said, “I can only control so much. I can be sure I’m eating well, taking my meds, getting 20 minutes of light exercise 3 times a day, and thinking positively. No that doesn’t mean that my fears will just go away or that just because I’m thinking positive things will always turn out in my favor. But the reality is, everything is going to be just fine, better than fine!”
