Bai Lu has recently addressed the concern fans had of her current weight, saying that the loss of weight was caused by an unidentified illness.
Sharing the news at the wrap-up party for her new drama, “Mo Li”, the actress said that she was down with an unexplained illness back in August this year, which left her with persistent headaches, severe fatigue, a sudden loss of appetite and other symptoms.
She revealed that during her illness, she sought medical treatment at the various hospital departments, including neurology, and orthopaedics, underwent CT scans, MRIs, and other tests, but the cause of her illness remained undiagnosed. She added that her weight plummeted from 47 kg to 43 kg in just one month.
Bai Lu explained that because Western medicine couldn’t diagnose her condition, she later switched to acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Western medicine, which gradually helped her health to improve.
She admitted that during her recovery, she felt “powerless and hopeless,” but the support of her fans fuelled her, adding, “Seeing everyone’s messages and posts of support gave me the strength to keep going.”
As to why she waited until now to disclose her illness, Bai Lu explained, “I didn’t want to worry everyone. I’ve always been a stickler for sharing good news, not bad news.”
