Cynthia Koh Is Spending Chinese New Year Eve In The Hospital After Getting A High Fever From Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Cynthia also revealed that a rude netizen who DM-ed her had speculated that she was suffering from a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

“I wished you had put some thought into writing that statement before [messaging] me. It’s a [cyst] that I didn’t remove that is causing this (sic),” the actress wrote.

She shared that she chose not to remove the cyst as it meant that she would have to “forgo [her] only ovary and step into menopause ahead of [her] time”.

Cynthia added that she’d “lost a fallopian tube” after her last keyhole surgery for endometriosis.

The actress was diagnosed with that condition, which is characterised by frequent menstrual bleeding and the growth of uterine tissue in other parts of the body, in 2012.

“Do keep me in your prayers, I hope to at least be home on the 1st day of CNY,” she went on to write in another IG Story.

Cynthia’s last update was posted at around 7pm on Jan 30, where she shared that she’s “feeling slightly better”, and that she’s still “trying to suppress this fever”.

“I'm eating more than the last few days, functioning slightly better. I’m glad I came to the hospital first. Hopefully I’ll get out soon,” she said.

You can catch Cynthia in My Star Bride - Hi, Mai Phương Thảo, which will premiere on Feb 1, 7.45pm on Ch 8. It will be available on demand for free on meWATCH on Feb 2.
