Busy Philipps hospitalised after her ovary flips over

Cape Town – What started out as a night of celebration ended in a nightmare when Busy Philipps was rushed to the hospital in “excruciating pain” on Saturday night.

The 38-year-old was celebrating her best friend, Michelle Williams’ 37th birthday in Boston when she felt pain in her lower right side and was hospitalised.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Busy updated her fans saying it was eventually determined that her ovary flipped over – a condition called torsion – but that it had luckily flipped back on its own.

Busy wrote that while she is okay, it is always important to go to the doctor when something is wrong, adding that had her ovary not flipped over on its own she would’ve needed surgery.

Last night ended super weird. But if you listen to my podcast, you know our advice is always, don't be a hero, go to the doctor. Anyway, I had a crazy excruciating pain in my lower right side and after a long time at Mass Gen, it was determined my ovary had flipped over- it's called torsion. Mine flipped back by itself and I'm ok but sometimes if it doesn't you have to get surgery or you can lose your ovary(which actually happened to a really good friend of mine) Anyway, my point of posting this was I felt like an idiot for going to the hospital but ultimately, going was the right move! It always is! Even if they say you're fine and send you on your way! And a huge thank you to the amazing doctors and nurses who took care of me! ??????
