Ricki-Lee Coulter is recovering after undergoing major surgery this week.
The 38-year-old Australian singer and broadcaster updated her fans on her condition with a series of posts shared to her social media.
In a touching message to fans Ricki-Lee revealed she had undergone treatment for endometriosis after suffering under the painful condition for over a decade.
Endometriosis is a disease in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterus – often on ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder or intestines.
The Nova radio host included selfies in her post in which the brave singer can be seeing smiling and giving a ‘thumbs up’ to her fans.

In her lengthy share Ricki-Lee said the recent procedure came after suffering chronic pain.
‘Anyone with endometriosis knows it takes a long time to get to the point where you have surgery and can get any kind of diagnosis – and that you have to advocate for yourself and keep pushing for answers,’ she said.
Ricki-Lee added that she finally underwent the surgery after dealing with the pain every day and her agony became unbearable.
She said that it took many years of seeing specialists before she understood her condition.
After receiving a diagnosis confirming it was endometriosis she said the ‘only option left was surgery’.
She continued: ‘So this week I had a laparoscopy and excision surgery – and they removed all the endometriosis they found, and I can only hope that is the end of the pain.’
Ricki-Lee ended her message by telling fans she is out of hospital and back with her husband Richard Harrison.
‘I’m now at home recovering and feeling good. Rich is taking very good care of me,’ she said adding several kisses.
Many of Ricki-Lee’s high profile friends were quick to send well wishes to the much loved performer.
