United Kingdom, Feb. 25 -- Lupita Nyong'o has "over 50" uterine fibroids.

The 42-year-old actress was first diagnosed with the condition - which sees non-cancerous growths developing in or around the uterus and can cause symptoms including long and heavy periods, and pain in the pelvis, back, and leg - 11 years ago, and she admitted things are worse this time around, with few treatment options available.

Speaking on Today, she said: "The first time I got the fibroids taken out, they took out 23.

"And this time, I've been informed two years ago that I have over 50.

"And I'm being faced with the same options. Surgery or live with the pain."
