Lena Dunham has been taken to hospital after suffering an ovarian cyst rupture.
A representative for the star released a statement confirming that the actress, writer, producer and director will now need to undergo surgery to treat the rupture:
"Lena Dunham has been very public with her personal bouts with endometriosis.
"This morning, she suffered from an ovarian cyst rupture and has been taken to the hospital. Lena will be undergoing surgery at an undisclosed hospital. "We thank you for your understanding and hope that Lena's privacy will be respected."
Dunham was previously forced to pull out of promotion Season 5 of her showGirls, as she was suffering from a severe flare-up of endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic (but not life-threatening) reproductive health condition which can affect 1 in 10 women, and cause a vast range of symptoms from painful periods to lower back and abdominal pain.
Previously speaking about her condition, Dunham penned a piece for her newsletter Lenny:
‘I am one of many women who grasp for a sense of consistent well-being, fight against the betrayals of their bodies, and who are often met with skepticism by doctors trained to view painful periods as the lot of women who should learn to grin and bear it.'
