A reporter of “Mais Você” discovers the disease after a prank on the show

Joe Masaoka, reporter for the channel “Mais Você”, revealed on Wednesday (23) that he had discovered an illness after participating in the clip “Feed da Ana”, which showed a moment that occurred in September last year.

It all happened while the reporter was trying on tall boots with Ana Maria Braga, but had difficulties finding a model to fit him due to the size of the legs.

“We were having fun, and the theme was denim shoes, which were fashionable at the time. It was a way to use an old pair of shoes with jeans. But, to wear the shoes here in the studio, Anna’s focus was good and pretty, and I could only wear my clothes after adjusting.”It is to explain.

After the programme, Jo received letters from doctors and gynecologists who suggested she might have lipedema, a disease characterized by inflammation and swelling of fat cells, causing fat to build up in the arms and/or legs.

“I saw we were laughing there, so I took it as a joke. I got messages saying that my difficulty putting on my shoes could indicate that I have a disease called lipedema, which I had never heard of.”comment.

“I discovered that it is a genetic disease, which usually appears at puberty, and is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fat in certain areas of the body. I was terrified when I found out how many people have this disease. It is often confused with other problems, and I am part of that statistic. I found out thanks to that day in Anna’s brief”The reporter concluded.
