Amy Schumer says she is 'feeling stronger and thrilled about life' after her ...

Amy Schumer shared a health update with her fans on Sunday as she recovered from her hysterectomy and appendectomy. 

The 40-year-old comedienne's uterus and appendix were removed last week during the surgery she underwent to treat her endometriosis. 

'Im feeling stronger and thrilled about life,' Amy wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

In the first photo that Schumer shared, she was seen standing in a hallway wearing a red t-shirt that was emblazoned with the lettering 'Recovery Mode On.' She said that the t-shirt was given to her by her close friend and fellow comedienne Rachel Feinstein.

The mother of one also included photos in which she was seen posing with her arms around her surgeon Dr. Tamer Seckin and a video in which Dr. Seckin was heard explaining the his findings after her surgery.

She continued, 'I attached the audio of @seckinmd going over my pathology with me if that interests you. I cry through most of the findings.' 

'I had a tumor in my endo ravaged appendix. Chocolate cysts in both ovaries. Endo of the uterus, psoas all over all my lifelong pain explained and lifted out of my body. 

'I am already a changed person. I am busting with joy for the new energy I have to be with my son. Thank you @rachelfeinstein_ for getting me this shirt I needed to let people know what's up. 

Amy went on to say, 'And anyone wondering if this is connected to my difficult pregnancy and hyperemesis I say f**k yes!'

Schumer then voiced her frustration over the lack of research on endometriosis which she attributed to an outsized focus on medical issues that affect men. 

The Trainwreck star also implored Melissa Gates to help with funding for endometriosis research.

'I can't answer medically because there is no research on this sh*t because they only happen TO WOMEN and there is no time to study them because all resources need to be funneled into researching ERECTILE DISFUNCTION.'  

Schumer continued, 'THERE IS BARELY ANY RESEARCH ON ENDOMETRIOSIS WHICH OVER 10 percent of women have. ALL FUNDING SEEMS TO GO TO DICKMEREGENCIES. @melindafrenchgates how about we help this?!!'   

In the video that she posted, Amy trained the camera on the floor as Dr. Sekin explained that there was evidence of endometriosis in her uterus and that out of the 30 specimens that were removed, 26 had tested positive for endometriosis.

'That's sharpshooting m'am. I didn't miss much, ' he added.

Amy replied, 'Hey, not to toot your own horn but thank you.' 

The I Feel Pretty star later shared a photo to her Instagram Story in which she was seen laying in bed with her three-year-old son Gene. She covered Gene's face with a heart emoji and wrote, 'Healin'.   

Last week, Amy revealed that she had a hysterectomy and disclosed the results of her surgery, reposting a video of herself laying in her hospital bed.

Schumer has long been vocal about her battle with endometriosis - a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. 

The condition can cause considerable pain for sufferers and have an impact on fertility.  

While one treatment for endometriosis is surgically removing the uterus, the treatment is controversial as a hysterectomy leaves you unable to get pregnant and it's not always a cure — the condition and related pain can return.   

Schumer began the video by noting that it was 'the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out.' 

She explained: 'The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed. He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.

'There was a lot, a lot of blood in my uterus and I'm, you know, sore and I have some, like, gas pains.' 

As well as a video, Schumer uploaded a selfie taken in a hospital gown and blue latex gloves. 

In the caption she wrote: 'If you have really painful periods you may have #endometriosis.'
