Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis superstar Serena Williams, recently underwent surgery to remove suspicious nodules from his thyroid. Ohanian shared the news with his followers on Instagram, revealing that the nodules had been monitored for four years and were likely to become cancerous. He made the decision to undergo surgery to prevent any potential risks.
Thyroid nodules are lumps that can form in the thyroid gland, which is located near the base of the neck. Most nodules do not cause symptoms and are not serious, but in Ohanian’s case, the risk of cancer prompted him to take action.
Following the surgery, Ohanian shared a message for other men to prioritize their health and make doctor’s appointments, especially if they are fathers. Celebrities like Jill Martin and Robin Arzón sent their well wishes to Ohanian in the comments, showing support for his openness about his health journey.
Ohanian also shared that the recovery process has been going smoothly, and he is looking forward to getting back to his normal routine. Despite the health scare, he expressed gratitude for life, family, and the moments spent with his daughters. The couple welcomed their second child, Adira, in August 2023. Serena Williams has also recently shared her own health update, revealing that she had a benign cyst removed from her neck.
