Former WWE superstar Maryse is staying positive and looking to overcome her recent condition. The former two-time WWE Divas Champion gave fans a health update on social media, revealing that she has been diagnosed with pre-cancer of the ovaries.
On Instagram, Maryse thanked her OB-GYN, Dr. Thai?s Aliabadi, for her help in catching her diagnosis early and saving her life. She also explained that she has been dealing with several issues, including abdominal distention and extreme fatigue, for the past year.

Although she had seen several doctors, Maryse said no one could tell her the problem. While others told her it would go away by itself, she decided to see Dr. Aliabadi for help.
“…From the start, when I met Thais at her office in LA, she listened to my story, truly listened,” wrote Maryse.
Instead of being dismissive, Maryse shared that Dr. Aliabadi pushed to get to the bottom of the issue, and last week, the former WWE Divas Champion had Laparoscopy surgery for what they thought was for Endometriosis disease. After removing 11 implants around her uterus, ovaries, and other connective tissue, the testing showed that she didn’t have it. However, the implants returned days later.
“…All 11 implants came back as Serous Borderline Tumors. A very rare pre-cancer of the ovaries. Very sneaky and aggressive. If those became cancer, the survival rate is less than a year,” wrote Maryse.
Thankfully, Dr. Aliabadi was able to find the cause of Maryse’s health issues, but the former WWE superstar shared that the fight against cancer isn’t over yet.
Maryse On Upcoming Surgery & Message To Fans
Maryse will have hysterectomy surgery in four weeks. Despite her current condition, she stays strong for herself and her family.
She wrote on Instagram that she will have her “…Uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, omentum will be removed and will get abdominal lymph nodes removed for staging.”
Although Maryse is looking ahead to her surgery, she also took the opportunity to highlight the healthcare issues that women deal with to her fans. The former WWE superstar used her experience as an example of how women’s problems are sometimes dismissed and could lead to bigger ramifications.
“…Women get so conditioned to believe that it is normal to suffer, most often in silence. Told to stop being a crybaby. That it must be hormonal imbalances, just anxiety, or just all in your head. This is not normal. This cycle has to be broken,” wrote Maryse.
She added that she advocates for other women to continue to find help even if a doctor dismisses them.
We at SEScoops wish Maryse well and hope she makes a full recovery.
