Former The Bachelor star Hannah Brown has taken to Instagram to update her fans on a major milestone in her health journey: the successful surgery that corrected her abnormal uterus. The 31‑year‑old, who recently married her husband Adam Woolard, posted a short video on Monday, April 27, captioning it with a playful nod to her recovery: “Putting adult diapers and all my matching pajamas into good use!!” She added, “Little recap, I finally had a procedure I’d been putting off for a while 🤍.”
From Diagnosis to Decision: Understanding the Condition
Brown’s story began a few years ago when she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and underwent her first ultrasound. The scan revealed an abnormality in her uterus that initially was thought to be a didelphys uterus—a rare condition where the uterus is duplicated. However, further imaging clarified that she actually has a bicorporeal septate uterus, meaning her uterus is partially divided into two chambers by a septum. This structural anomaly can interfere with implantation and increase the risk of miscarriage, making fertility a significant concern.
She explained that the diagnosis came at a time when she was busy moving across the country, writing books, planning a wedding, and buying a new home. “Family planning just hasn’t been front of mind,” she said. “I still don’t know if I’m ready (does anyone ever fully feel ready?!) but it felt like time to take a first step—and this was that for me.”
The Surgical Solution and Its Impact
After consulting with specialists, Brown decided to undergo a hysteroscopic septoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that removes the septum and restores the uterus to a more normal shape. The surgery, which she had been postponing for a while, was a turning point in her journey toward potential motherhood.
She emphasized how early detection played a crucial role: “I’m fortunate to have been diagnosed with the condition early so I could seek the proper treatment in a timely fashion.” She also highlighted the emotional toll many women face before receiving answers, thanking those who shared their stories and offered support.
Life After Surgery: A New Chapter
Brown’s recovery has been swift, and she’s already sharing the lighter side of post‑operative life. In her Instagram post, she humorously mentioned using adult diapers and matching pajamas—an anecdote that underscores her willingness to keep the conversation about health open and relatable. She also noted that she and Adam are
