Content creator Benedict Cua got candid online as he revealed that he recently underwent surgery.

In his latest vlog, the celebrity dad documented his hospital experience as he underwent a fistulectomy, a surgical procedure that removes a fistula—an abnormal tunnel that forms between two organs or between an organ and the skin.

Before being admitted to the hospital, Benedict shared that he took some time to treat himself ahead of the operation.

After nearly 10 hours of fasting and undergoing a digestive cleanse in his hospital room, the influencer proceeded with a colonoscopy and fistulectomy.

"I just hoped everything would turn out well. I mean, it should 'cause it's not a super major surgery," he said.

While recovering, Benedict reflected on the importance of taking care of his health.

"Matagal ko nang nararamdaman, two years na, pero ini-ignore ko na lang siya. Kasi nga sobrang busy lately and ayokong maka-lose ng opportunity. In return, tinitiis ko 'yung mga nararamdaman ko," he shared.

The content creator reminded his viewers to prioritize their health above everything else, saying that while work opportunities may come and go, one's health is irreplaceable.

"If it doesn't make you feel good, if it costs your health, it's not worth it. Kung sa tingin mo mauubusan ka ng oras by ignoring your health, it is not worth it. 'Yung health mo should be your top priority," he added.
