She wrote alongside it: "the scars that got me this angel."
She also added the hashtag: "endo warrior."

She has spoken out about the treatment for her illness in the past and in 2017, posted on Instagram: "Today I braved multiple terrifying surgeries."
The post, which has since been deleted, continued: "The most important of which being the surgery that would hopefully treat my endometriosis.
"For those of you who have followed this battle of mine or who may suffer with it yourself, you know the extremes to which it can be mentally exhausting and physically painful."
Explaining how she was feeling at that time, Halsey wrote: "I'm in total agony right now… (and I'm going to be in excruciating pain for a while cause I had quite the cocktail of procedures today).
"In my recovery I am thinking of all of you and how you give me the strength and stamina to power through and prosper.
"If you suffer from chronic pain or a debilitating disease please know that I have found time to live a crazy, wild, rewarding life AND balance my treatment and I hope so much in my heart that you can too."
