The audience of “The View” was on the edge of their seats when Whoopi Goldberg revealed her terrifying experience with endometriosis in a chilling episode. She was so frustrated with the healthcare system that she questioned why women have to suffer for so long before receiving a diagnosis. At 67, Goldberg shared her harrowing story: she was misdiagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and ignored the symptoms until they took a disturbing turn.

Goldberg said, her voice trembling, “I had no idea what was going on.” “Out of nowhere, a smell like cottage cheese was wafting through the air. I was lucky enough to meet someone who said, ‘This is called endometriosis.’” That’s when her story took a surprising turn. Is Whoopi Goldberg’s confession a coded plea for help? She begins to question the medical education system, which only deepens the mystery.

Millions of women suffer from endometriosis, but diagnosis can take six to ten painful years. Stay tuned as Goldberg adds her name to the list of celebrities helping to shed light on this mysterious disease. Is she safe now, or is she still at risk?
