Just days after Julianne Hough announced her leave of absence, we’re learning that another DWTS professional has been diagnosed with endometriosis.
According to The Insider, Lacey Schwimmer just discovered that she too had this medical condition. Strangely enough, Julianne was the reason Lacey found out.
Once the 20-year-old realized she had symptoms similar to the ones Hough had, she went in for an evaluation. Her doctor informed her yesterday of the news.

Meanwhile, Julianne has already undergone surgery and is reportedly “at home resting comfortably.”
