31-year-old American actress Lina Dunham underwent a major surgery to remove the uterus.

The reason for this decision was found in the star of the series HBO "Girls" endometriosis, which she treated for 10 years. But, unfortunately, the disease was stronger, so the young actress will not be able to have children.

"Perhaps I felt deprived of the choice before, and now I know that I have a choice," - so Lina wrote in her essay.

Lina Dunham always wanted to have a baby, but after hysterectomy it became impossible, so the actress thought about adoption.

"Adoption is also an exciting idea, which I will try to go all out. But I wanted a pregnant belly. I wanted to feel intimacy for nine months. I was destined for this, "Lina added in a confession that was published in the March issue of Vogue.

Recall that the operation to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes in 2015, moved the Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.
