Martin Lewis's wife Lara Lewington shares health update from hospital bed

Martin Lewis's wife, Lara Lewington, has shared that she underwent a hysterectomy last week, following a long battle with a rare health condition.

The tech journalist, 74, shared her health update on Instagram from her hospital bed as she recovered from the procedure on Thursday.

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the womb. You'll no longer be able to get pregnant after the operation.

Lara revealed she has been suffering with adenomyosis, a condition where the lining of the womb (uterus) starts growing into the muscle in the wall of the womb.

She shared: 'Ten days ago I had a hysterectomy after a rollercoaster with adenomyosis (the lesser known sibling of endometriosis, a condition that on average takes 9.4 years for diagnosis.'

Lara added: 'I’m recovering really well and excited about new project kicking off next month, a podcast, not unrelated to this post! Back to work tomorrow in the meantime.'

Fans and friends jumped to the comment section to wish her a speedy recovery.

Jeremy Vine penned: 'Hope all is well with you, LL.'

Lara has been married to the MoneySavingExpert guru, 54, since 2009 and shares a daughter, Sapphire, 13, together.
