JoJo Siwa Details ‘Excruciating’ Pain That Sent Her to Hospital

Siwa attempted to “calm” the pain by taking a warm bath, but that only exacerbated the symptoms. “That set it off 100 times worse,” Siwa said, adding that her mother ultimately advised her to call an ambulance.

When EMTs arrived, her vitals were “normal,” but a subsequent trip to the hospital unearthed the source of Siwa’s pain: “One of my ovaries had a cyst on it that burst and was bleeding into my stomach.”

“So that’s what was causing the excruciating pain — anytime that the blood in your stomach moves, that’s the bleeding in the stomach,” Siwa added. “It’s like brutal pain, and long story short, [it] should revolve itself. It should stop on its own.”

Thanks to some pain medication, Siwa still managed to make her Mall of America performance, though she needs to get re-checked in a week.

“We’re going to keep it pushing, and if I vomit or if I have that excruciating pain burst again, I got to go immediately back in, but we should be okay,” Siwa said.
