AceShowbiz - Porsha Williams underwent an emergency partial hysterectomy earlier in 2026 after doctors found 21 uterine fibroids, including one the size of a cantaloupe, forcing the removal of her uterus but preserving her ovaries.

Williams discovered the return of these fibroids during a fertility appointment she attended with a friend, when she requested an exam for herself. She was referred to a specialist who ordered an MRI, revealing not only numerous large fibroids but also endometriosis and uterine lining issues. Surgery followed within two weeks to remove the growths. The fibroids had been a long-standing issue for Williams, first detected in her late 20s, and had contributed to a miscarriage during a previous pregnancy. She gave birth to her daughter Pilar in 2019, but the fibroids returned despite prior treatments, including uterine fibroid embolization and a myomectomy.

Williams shared on social media that her experience has motivated her to encourage women to prioritize health screenings and seek medical advice rather than self-diagnosing. She expressed gratitude for the support from fans, family, and her partner throughout her health journey.

Porsha Williams is best known for her role on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and has also appeared on Apprentice, The. Her openness about her fibroid diagnosis and emergency surgery highlights an often overlooked women’s health issue, especially among public figures.

This surgery marks a significant moment in Williams’ life, ending her ability to carry children but preserving hormonal function. By sharing her story, she is shedding light on uterine fibroids, a condition many women face silently, and urging others to take unexplained symptoms seriously and advocate for their health.
