Kris Jenner is keeping it candid about her health.
The Kardashians star broke down her experience undergoing a hysterectomy several years ago after doctors discovered a benign tumor on one of her ovaries, describing the experience “the best decision” she’s ever made.
“I would rather be clear of any medical complication or anything having a chance to attach itself and grow back,” Kris shared on the May 5 episode of Dear Media’s SHE MD podcast, “so I just said, ‘Let’s go in and take care of it.'”
Besides, the 70-year-old said she didn’t really “need” her uterus anymore now that Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner are all grown up—with some having children of their own.
As she quipped, “That was a good uterus.”
But if Kris ever misses the organ, she can see it on video.
“I videotaped your surgery for you,” her physician Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, who co-hosts the podcast with Mary Alice Haney, jokingly reminded Kris during the episode. “It’s 22 minutes skin-to-skin.”
