Louise Thompson Spends Christmas Eve in Hospital for Urgent Proctoscopy, Praises NHS

Her update highlights ongoing treatment for complex complications that followed a near‑fatal 2021 birth.

Overview

  • The former Made in Chelsea star said on Instagram she accepted a short‑notice 24 December slot and later posted photos from the hospital in a gown with a nasal cannula.
  • She explained the procedure was a proctoscopy, noting it was less invasive because she no longer has a colon and adding that fentanyl eased discomfort.
  • Thompson thanked NHS staff for fitting her in urgently over the holidays and wrote that the service “never clocks off” in emergencies.
  • She has previously detailed extensive health issues since 2021, including a stoma following ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Asherman’s syndrome, and a second haemorrhage.
  • Her fiancé Ryan Libbey earlier said a crisis‑management team monitored her for suicide risk during the postnatal period, underscoring the mental‑health toll alongside physical complications.
