JoJo Siwa Hospitalized After Burst Ovarian Cyst Before Show

JoJo Siwa was hospitalized on November 24, 2023, after experiencing severe pain from a burst ovarian cyst just hours before her scheduled performance at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. The 22-year-old star of *Dance Moms* shared her ordeal on TikTok, describing the intense discomfort that left her “blacking out” and struggling to breathe.

Before the incident, Siwa had been dismissing abdominal pain she had experienced over the previous days, believing it would pass. She recounted feeling unwell while preparing for the Black Friday event. In her TikTok video, Siwa explained, “I went to the Mall of America to do some morning Black Friday work, and all of a sudden, I was coming back up to my room.”

After initially deciding to rest, Siwa’s condition worsened. “I had three hours before the performance, so I was like, ‘I’m just gonna lie down and close my eyes, and hope for the best,’” she said. However, she quickly realized the gravity of her situation. “I lay down, I closed my eyes, and I was like, ‘I can’t breathe, this is really bad.’”

In a state of distress, Siwa decided to take a bath, but this action exacerbated her symptoms. She was promptly taken to the hospital for urgent medical attention.

Upon her arrival, medical professionals determined that the ovarian cyst had burst, leading to the intense pain she experienced. Fortunately, Siwa’s family reported that she is now recovering well. The incident highlights the importance of listening to one’s body and seeking medical advice when experiencing significant discomfort.

Siwa’s experience serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of health issues, especially for those in the public eye. As she continues her recovery, her fans have expressed their support and well wishes for her swift return to performing.
