Kim Kardashian’s Brain Aneurysm, Inside Her Many Health Struggles With Psoriasis, Arthritis And More

Kim Kardashian and her sisters have played a significant role in stirring conversations in the world of fashion and beauty. Especially, the startlet that started it all, Kim, first established her name as a fashion icon. However, in an industry where people try to cover up any supposed ‘imperfection’, Kim has been very candid about her struggles with diseases that have impacted her both internally and externally. 

Recently, Kim Kardashian revealed her brain aneurysm diagnosis. But this isn’t the first time that she has shared her health struggle with the public. In past episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and even through her social media, Kim has been open about her health battles. Hence, amid her brain condition diagnosis, here’s a look at Kim Kardashian’s past health battles and how she copes with them. 

Kim Kardashian often shares about her psoriasis on social media, which even inspired a KKW foundation 

For the unversed, psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that has no cure, but it can be managed with proper care and medication. People with psoriasis get dry, scaly patches on their skin that can be itchy. Kim first opened up about her psoriasis condition on her sister, Kourtney’s blog, Poosh. Over the years, Kim has shared photos of her skin when she gets those patches after a psoriasis flare-up. In an episode of KUWTK, it was seen that her skin had flared up just before a photoshoot. 

However, Kim hasn’t given up on the battle. Although there is no cure, she has accepted her condition and learned to live with it. In KUWTK, she had talked about the pressure to look perfect and expressed apprehension about what people would think if they saw the patches on her skin. However, over the years, Kim has herself shared photos of her psoriasis-affected skin. One of Kim’s KKW Beauty Body foundations was also inspired by her psoriasis, as reported by Prevention.

Kim Kardashian developed psoriatic arthritis 

A report by Flow Space stated that around thirty percent of people who have been diagnosed with psoriasis also develop psoriatic arthritis. Kim also developed this as a result of having psoriasis. When the autoimmune disorder begins affecting joints, it becomes psoriatic arthritis. Over the years, Kim said that she had tried everything to help with the symptoms, but nothing has really worked. Kim also stated that although she doesn’t like to be on medications for the disorder, when it gets very bad, she gets steroids to help manage the flare-up. 

Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy complications and placenta accreta 

Kim Kardashian has given birth twice. First to her daughter, North, and then her son, Saint. She shares both these children with ex-husband, Kanye ‘Ye’ West. During these two pregnancies, Kim suffered from pre-eclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure and can also lead to organ damage. While pregnant with North, Kim had to go for an early delivery due to this. Additionally, labour was very difficult for Kim during both her babies’ deliveries since she developed placenta accreta. This refers to a condition in which the placenta becomes too firmly attached to the uterus. It is a high-risk condition, and hence, she was advised not to give birth again. As a result, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their two younger children, Chicago and Psalm, through surrogacy. 

Kim Kardashian’s brain aneurysm diagnosis: What is it, and did she blame Kanye West for it? 

The premiere of The Kardashians season 7 has revealed that Kim Kardashian has been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm after getting an MRI. When a teary Kim asked why it was happening to her, the doctor stated that it generally develops due to stress. Later, Kim blamed her divorce from Kanye West as a cause of her stress. She shared that trying to protect her four children from the drama has been causing her to worry. Kim said:

“I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids. Everyone around can handle, but I want to protect my babies. They are going to know things. They’re going to grow up and see. So my job as a mom is to just make sure that at a time when that behavior is happening, is just to make sure that they are protected.”

An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain filled with blood. If the aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to internal bleeding and lead to a life-threatening stroke. Although brain aneurysms cannot be reversed to normal, they can be managed and prevented from rupturing through regular check-ups and treatments.
