Over 12 million people follow the Instagram profile of Amy Schumer, an American comedy actress known for her role in the movie Trainwreck. Known for her casual and humorous approach, she posted a photo on her Instagram profile that not everyone would share: she posed on a gynaecological chair.

Amy Schumer reminds us about check-ups

Amy Schumer shared a photo from the gynecologist's office. She appeared in a blue gown and special glasses, holding a breathing machine. Although she did not reveal the reason for the visit to the specialist, it can be assumed that she wanted to remind others about check-ups with the published photo.


Adjusting well. You? - she wrote under the photo, which she also shared in her Instagram story.

In the comments under the post, she received only positive feedback. Some people humorously responded to her photo, while others thanked her for addressing important issues.

Amy Schumer has Cushing's syndrome

In February of this year, Amy Schumer appeared at the premiere of the second season of the series "Life & Beth." It was then noticed that the actress had a noticeably swollen face. In a conversation with Jessica Yellin for "News Not Noise," she revealed that she suffers from Cushing's syndrome, which is related to elevated cortisol levels in the blood, with symptoms including weight gain and high blood pressure.

- I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up - she recalled.

- I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy [which] was the greatest news imaginable - Schumer said.
