"This has been an ongoing issue for quite some time," Collins, the world number 40 who reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 2019, wrote on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIA40sjttG.Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other places, usually within the pelvic cavity.
"Unfortunately it has been affecting my overall day to day life in a way that has caused too much physical agony," Collins added. "Off the court, being able to start a family one day is one of my biggest goals. This operation is important for many reasons."
