He had surgery to repair a ruptured bowel.
“Friends” star Matthew Perry has revealed he has spent three months in hospital following surgery to repair a ruptured bowel.
Last month, a spokeswoman for the actor, 49, said he underwent an operation in Los Angeles and was “grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals”.
On Friday, Perry tweeted to say he was still in hospital. It was his first tweet since March.
He said: “Three months in a hospital bed. Check.”
A punctured bowel — or gastrointestinal perforation — can occur along any point in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach, small intestine and large intestine.
Symptoms include severe abdominal pain.
This is not the first health battle Perry has dealt with, which he has shared publicly with his fans.
