Miles Ocampo discloses details about thyroid operation
Miles Ocampo bared to the public the truth for the first time about recently undergoing surgery due to a thyroid problem.
On Thursday, Miles appeared in an episode of the morning talk show Magandang Buhay. As a guest, the host catches up with her love life, career, and other life commitments.
But as the conversation progressed, the 25-year-old later opened up about her health concern. On national television, Miles revealed that she received thyroid surgery not long ago.

According to a report by ABS-CBN, Miles noticed the symptoms beginning last year.
“Parang late last year ko pa naramdaman, ‘yung feeling ko parang lagi akong hapong-hapo. Tapos ‘yung feeling ko laging may nakasakal sa akin. Hingalin po ako, nilalamig ako bigla o bigla akong naiinitan. So sabi ko, parang may something na,” she narrated.
As a countermeasure, Miles got a blood test and found an issue concerning her thyroid. After further examinations through biopsy and ultrasound, experts recommended she consider receiving an operation. She had three months to arrive at a decision.
Miles continued, “After Batang Quiapo, I was supposed to guest pa sa ASAP, dapat sasayaw pa ako. Pero ayaw ko lumabas na hindi ko 100%. So, kinailangan ko pa mag-cancel ng last minute tapos itinuloy na ‘yung operation.”
Miles showed the scar on her neck as a result of the surgery. She explained that she will have to go through one more follow-up procedure. After that, maintenance medication for life is needed to sustain her condition.
It was earlier this year when Miles Ocampo trended for her scene-stealing performance in the pilot episode of Batang Quiapo.
