Kim Kardashian discusses oesophagitis diagnosis and recent surgery
Kim Kardashian revealed her oesophagitis diagnosis and subsequent surgery during an episode of The Kardashians on Thursday, October 29.
Diagnosis and medical procedure details
The reality star stated she felt unwell with throat pain before visiting a doctor. Medical staff identified inflammation in her oesophagus lining and prescribed medication initially. She later underwent a procedure to examine the irregularities found during the checkup.
Reasons for privacy on health
Kim explained she kept the condition private because her father died from oesophageal cancer in 2003. She expressed fear that discussing this illness brings painful memories of her late father to mind. The SKIMS founder noted she has not shared details with many people yet.
