Pop star and dancer JoJo Siwa experienced a scary medical emergency right before a major performance, which landed her in the hospital.
The star revealed on social media that she suffered a burst ovarian cyst, which caused her severe pain and difficulty breathing.
The incident happened before a planned show at the Mall of America.
JoJo Siwa said she was dealing with "excruciating pain" and felt like she was "blacking out."
Her mother, Jessalynn, help her dress before an ambulance took her to a local hospital in Minnesota.
Once at the hospital, doctors performed an ultrasound.
They discovered that an ovarian cyst had burst and was bleeding into her stomach, which was the cause of the terrible pain.
An ovarian cyst is a common sac full of fluid that can develop on an ovary. When one ruptures, it can cause sudden and sharp pain.
Doctors told Siwa that the issue should resolve itself, which meant she could leave the hospital.
Despite the intense health scare, JoJo Siwa chose to go on with her performance as planned, showing her dedication to her fans.
She thanked the doctors and nurses who took care of her.
JoJo Siwa did mention that she is not fully recovered yet and may need to return to the hospital if the pain continues.
