Kapanlagi.com - Actress and former singer Sarwendah recently made a post on social media stating that she was hospitalized in Singapore. In her post, she expressed her hopes for continued health, strength, and blessings to always be able to accompany her children and make her parents happy.

This former wife of Ruben Onsu revealed that she discovered this illness after undergoing various health checks several years ago. She also mentioned in a television program that she was diagnosed with a cyst in the brainstem in 2022.

"Yesterday we checked the cyst. I have a cyst in the brainstem. So I just had a health check-up," said Sarwendah when met at the Trans TV Studio, Mampang, South Jakarta, Wednesday (29/1/2025).

1. Cyst Size in Brain Stem is Stable

Since she has known about her illness for a long time, Sarwendah currently needs to monitor the progression of her disease. The mother of four revealed that the size of the cyst residing in her brain stem is currently stable.

"So far, the size hasn't increased, and the important thing is that the doctor said if it shrinks, then be grateful; the main thing is that it shouldn't grow bigger," she said.

Although she admits to often experiencing migraines, Sarwendah chooses not to undergo surgery for now. She also has to undergo routine check-ups every 6 months to a year to monitor the condition of the cyst in her brain stem.

2. Doesn't Want to Take Surgical Risks

"If it stays there, then just let it be, because if surgery is really necessary, the risks are about 50-50. So it’s better to just live with it well," Sarwendah explained.

"The reason I was able to check it is that I often have migraines. So when I have a lot on my mind or whatever, I get migraines because it really is structured in the brain stem. The symptoms are due to my migraines and having many thoughts," she concluded.

Because of this, the doctor handling her case also advised her not to overthink and to reduce stress to lessen the migraines.
