Professor Green's Health Setback: Hernia Returns
10 May
Summary
- Professor Green's bowel hernia has recurred nearly a decade after initial surgery.
- The rapper is also managing newly discovered tumours linked to schwannomatosis.
- He plans to debut new music inspired by his health challenges soon.
Rapper Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, has shared with fans the painful recurrence of his bowel hernia. This health issue has returned nearly a decade after his initial surgery for the same condition. The growth is visibly pushing outward under a scar from his previous operation.
The musician explained this hernia recurrence happened recently and impacts him greatly, especially given other recent health issues. He is attempting to channel his emotions about these medical battles into his music, planning to perform a new single during his upcoming shows and throughout the Example tour.
This news follows Professor Green's recent diagnosis of several tumours, linked to a rare genetic condition called schwannomatosis, which causes benign nerve growths. He previously had four growths removed from his head and neck, and scans have revealed additional tumours behind his eye and along his spine. He expressed that the emotional toll of worrying about the tumours' nature was more difficult than the physical symptoms.
